Sushi

Like raw meat, and nothing less than sushi 
It's the taste of fresh and pure unaltered flavor

It's the beginning 
the end to the past and the reason for this future
Sing the blues away and squeeze the lemon of life
No lemonade here to sweeten, its all just peachy

Quite a new day and time
or the same but better
or better but richer
or ruined with too much wasabi greed
or seasoned with the wrong vinegar
or sipped by the wrong girl

sushi makes the world a better place
and the world is a better place because of raw talent in the hands of the right people
