Healthy Outlook

Some people think that there’s no need
To exercise or even feed
On healthy foods, because, they say,
We all are bound to die someday.
They hardly care if they should die
In fifty years or very nigh.
If anything, they’d rather choose
The latter, as it fits their views.
But I for one do not agree
That health’s about longevity
And nothing else. It’s more to do
With seeing your potential through.
The more you treat your body right,
The more endurance, speed, and might
And thus the more you can achieve.
Besides, poor health is such a peeve,
With aches and pains from normal acts;
It’s even hard to just relax.
Perhaps a workout’s not much fun
And health food’s not for everyone,
But let’s not kid ourselves and say
It doesn’t matter anyway.
