An Ode to The Salted Gods- by: unknown forgotten
Salt in my belly and heart
Clogging my mind and arteries
Making me complete
The Salted Gods are my haven
They keep me safe when my food is flavorless and bland
The Salted Gods have saved me at my lowest point
Guiding me to the sunlight's reflection off the mineral of white
In my weakest hour I have almost succumb to the Devils of Pepper
But I have prevailed to the flavor that will forever entice
The Salted Gods look over me
And protect me from all that is false
For without, I would have a mineral deficiency
And most likely have died that night
Thank you Salted Gods
In you golden brazen 'shaker' altar forms
Always where I need you when I can't taste my food at all
Those eggs and hashbrowns would have been my demise.
