Binge and Purge
Update 7/22/2012
I've added a video and a listing of organizations which will hopefully prompt you to action.
JWP
we lie in our beds
of satin and silk
our bellies are full
of honey and milk
and we digest our binges
with moving images
we see them smile
despite their pain
as we max out the Visa
on toys and games
we watch them pass away
and we can't stay awake
we sleep walk
and with eyes closed
we stoop down to vomit.
