For Everybody with a Body & Skin
My good friend and fellow poet Veronica Ebanks launched her healthcare product range at the end of 2017 and she asked me to preform spoken word at her product launch party.
To understand her products, I asked Veronica if they were designed for men as well as women.
Full of passion, Veronica replied “It’s for Everybody!!!! It’s for Everybody with skin and a scalp!!!”
This made me laugh and I began to think of other things which was for Everybody – such as exercise and healthy eating. And from this the poem “For Everybody with a Body and Skin” was born.
For Everybody with a Body & Skin
Public Announcement
Gather around
Important news for all
Let our voices resound
Sharing a message
I’m gonna let you in
This is for Everybody with a body and skin
Move your body
Shake it about
Walk, run, or jump
With gusto and clout
Strengthen your core
The results will make you grin
Come on Everybody with a body and skin
Eat a balanced diet
More fruit and more veg
More food that give you energy
To give you the edge
Drink plenty of water
Put the bad stuff in the bin
Consume well Everybody with a body and skin
Get the products
The oils and the creams
Lather them over your body
To feel supreme
Treat yourself with kindness
This is how you win
Let’s indulge Everybody with a body and skin
Self-care isn’t frivolous
It is a must
Self-love is the answer
The magic stardust
Let’s promote our well-being
Take care of the body we’re in
Live Strong Everybody with a body and skin.
Love this body confidence poem, it makes me smile
