To a sensitive system sugar
is cocaine. Overstimulating
for the brain. Triggering dopamine
clouds to rain and for euphoria
feels to replace pain. Cravings kick in
when it starts to wane. Desperation
to consume more of the same. Crashing
down equal to whatever felt gained
and frustration rises once again.
Parents begin to scold and blame and
relationships begin to strain as
hormone levels are now insane. New
addicts bred into life's game, thanks to
damaging their developing brain.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Refined sugar definitely feels like a drug. It affects your hormones, and causes insulin resistance. Nice work.
Too much of anything is always damaging. Men and women need a lof of education before they become parents. Loved your poem!
I love the emphasis you put on those words. This gives me major “dopamine nation” vibes and im here for it.
Unusual rhythm but I like it. Title is gold.
not to mention the dyes 😱😫
Great poem
