79. Starvation [100 poems challenge]

79.          Starvation

Malnourished
And atrophied,
Stunted and
Under par,
Scarcely can manage
Coherent speech;
Barely cognizant
Of matters of consequence,
Reason a shadow
Of what might have been;
This sad example of
Diminished intellect
Results from consuming
Reality TV.
