Within the last couple years - especially 2017 - society has been going through a fitness revolution. Social media platforms have lately been accelerating a movement for America to get fit. This fitness revolution has its positives and negatives, which is what I have explored through this poem.
There's a revolution happening in society
Trying to make ambitious fitness goals a reality
consumes most minds constantly
Pinterest and Instagram filled with fitness body goals
Learning how to get a flat stomach with no tummy rolls
liking and pinning persistently
Healthy eating habits haunt even the humble
you missed your weight mark so you grumble
the goal is not skinny, it's toned with muscle
your waist better be mini, every day's a hustle
leggings and a sports bra mirror pic aesthetic
the healthy food mood but don't be rude
women lifting weights, men counting macros
carbs, protein, and fat - balance or you're fat!
L.A. lifestyle nationwide - fitness is a crazy ride
ride or die with my gym ladies
ladies looking slim thick on the 'gram
but there's no time so you cram
obesity is left far behind with processed foods
living the fit life is how we do it now
We eat real food and get our exercise in
our health and longevity is the real win
fitness is functional
for a society that needed a revolution
