Absent Minded
Evolution of medicine (Food Fight)
In controlled environments they feasted
on the same foods
seasoned with different spices
the same meals prepared exactly the same with different spices
to see what was the healthiest benefits
and this was a Greek foundation
of medicine and cooking or nursing that we have today
The recipes they made then
were to heal
and cooking was a precise science for the soul and health
everything prepared for you
was not just to eat
and taste good
but to heal and remedy
and there was a reason why every ingredient went into something
today that science has been destroyed entirely
and we are gluttons once again
Doctors of medicine
and pharmacists
and psychiatrists can thank the spice rack
for the foundation of what they are today
but today we feed the sick poisons and hope they get better
for what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger
as we adopt yet another cliche into the ways we live and believe
and again steer blindly and lose our way
There once was a King
who believed that there was similarities to poisons
and he could figure it out
so instead of poisoning someone else to figire it out
he poisoned himself
as he injested the different poisons he described the tastes and sensations
so those who would read his journal would know when to spit something out
he made himself violently ill many times
but yet you dont read about him in many history pages
his quest to be a hero
his obsession to find the one sensation on the tongue to describe
that would save thousands of lives
wether eating rotten berries
or poisoned fruit
or soldiers being sabotoged or other future kings like his son
His obsession for poison claimed his life
and his recordings of the tastes of the bitterness was never recovered
but like smoking and cigarettes and opium
he was addicted to this death wish
to be a hero of future peoples
he foresaw not knowing when to spit
future peoples who would swallow
and slowly die until they took the ultimate dose
to describe what was killing them
and the doctors still don't know
Thank the spice rack
Thank the king of poisonous suicide
The founders of modern medicine under rug swept
Once upon a time recipes were precise and perfected
to heal sickness
and treat ailments
now its just food and something we do to pacify the time
when ordering at mcdonolds they could be asking
if you are sick and need the special sauce to help fight a cold
or if ur on a diet and need extra spice to boost ur metabolism
or if ud like the jenny craig desert special
supersized at a cost of an extra point
Once upon a time there was logic to how we ate and why
there isnt anymore
and thats why half a continent is mercilessly obese
its not because theyre lazy
its because we mas produce them
because we threw out the old remedies and recipes
that were that way for reasons
and here we are at a food fight
smothering everything in fat and cholesteral
so everyone can have the free will to be lazy to
and die of heart attacks and forget all the hardwork
the philosophers of yesteryear and years before endured
for us to throw it all away
but where we are blind they did once see
Two steps back
One step forward
dont shoot the messanger
just thank me when things change
your burgewrs are less greasy
and you dont have to exercise as much to lose weight
and the food fight we're having ebds
and its almost impossible to not eat healthy
as we return to the old ways
modernized
to help those less fortunate
to reach their goals
the easiest way
if we only live once
why care about the money?
