the moon is not gluttonous
the sun knows no greed
the earth feels no hunger
the stars know not of shame
yet my body—created from its resources
a true creature of all sin
a pit of rottenness
a decaying mind
with only the cruel desire to be thin

the moon is not gluttonous
the sun knows no greed
the earth feels no hunger
the stars know not of shame
yet my body—created from its resources
a true creature of all sin
a pit of rottenness
a decaying mind
with only the cruel desire to be thin
