Sugarcane
The lusciousness drips into my mouth,and
how I wish I could engulf it forever
It looks like the dirty rags of a beggar from outside, but
it has the sweetest heart, you could ever imagine!!
I can't believe it has taken me so many years to realize its true identity.
If only I had been brave enough to try it before
I would have imbibed much more!
Would you have ever thought of it to be so sweet and sticky when
it is so rigid and callous from the outside
It teaches a lesson we should never forget
and moreover never leave behind!
The lusciousness drips into my mouth, and
how I wish I could engulf it forever
It looks like the dirty rags of a beggar from outside, but
It has the sweetest heart, you could ever imagine!!
