Salt
I am the balance of the earth
In seas and oceans you taste my strength
Yet I am weak and quickly melt condensed
Between salty tears and mans fears
On sweaty brows that climb up stairs
I am down to earth and have no airs
I am pain when added to a wound
I come in lumps or in grains
And even run through your veins.
A mound a dash or even a sprinkle
I can liven up what you eat with a twinkle
I have the ability to rule or ruin
I am completely at your command
I am easily managed and in demand.
I stand apart from my sister sugar sweet.
And act as a preservative for your meat.
