Salt and Pepper
Salt the earth,
only shaking out love
or
Pepper the place
with capsicum of hate
Salt preserves the peace,
pepper disturbs the harmony
Salted love is always hate-free
Peppered hate dilutes love distastefully
Give me love to salt all my senses down:
Make me immune to the peppery,
pungent aroma hate spreads around
When death comes,
which one will you put in the ground?
