Root

Removed from the hidden place
The firmness is evident
As the outter layers slowly removed safe
The odor very much becomes pungent

As long as the outter layers
Remainded, the scent was covered
Looked good, smell fair but ere
Was in the core, so like people unsaved

The comparison of onion
To the unsaved who
Look  like reached actualization
Seemed right true
