Prevention, prevention
it’s not a new invention
but we haven’t succeeded yet
in changing people’s’ mind set
The message is out there
and it seems so unfair
that no matter how much we nag
and put up yet another red flag
people’s bodies take up more space
at an alarming pace
still too many around the world smoke
leading to cancer, emphysema and stroke
couch potatoes in abundance are
and making it all worse is the car.

Most of the measures taken so far
reached only the ones that well off are
not the ones that need it the most
and even of their lifestyles boast
We need to find new avenues
based on changing attitudes
working together as a team
creating a whole new theme
starting with the local parks
making sure they light a spark
especially in the slums of town
so desperately needing a new “gown”
getting people to go out and play
will help keep diseases away
easy access to cheap healthy food
will change the local mood
maybe even crime will decrease
and with time altogether cease
Making sure the school’s top-notch are
will make the students all a star
These measures outshine any campaign
now lets not do any more work in vain
