Best Loaf Of Bread Poems
During the Second World War, people were panicking everywhere in the world. And of all continents, Asia was one of the most devastated in the history of wars.
So many people in Asia were victims of slavery. Most of them are women. They were victims of molestation and rape. The worst of all, slitting them in their necks or being stabbed so deep between their breasts after being disrespected.
The story of the loaf of bread started not in China or anywhere else in the North, but in the Far East -- the place called "Pearl Of The Orient." Pearl of the East, as it is sometimes called, is situated north of Borneo and south of Japan, east by the Pacific ocean and west by the China sea. The map itself shows a shape of a human form.
Many people who have lived in the Pearl country had a hard time during the Second War. One loaf of bread is equivalent to one family's meal of six, or even ten. The scarcity of bread during those times is not caused by the insufficiency of flour or yeast. Salt, as an ingredient, is not supposed to be the problem too. Only that salt was used for other purposes.
One loaf of bread is the prize of winning the lives of one whole family in hunger and danger. In different ordeals that almost all captured families were going through back then, if you don't have a loaf of bread then you have to earn it. Otherwise, every single member of the family dies. Many times a loaf of bread is placed on top of the head of the man of the family for shooting. And sometimes a loaf of bread is used for marinating human flesh. If you don't know the exact number of slices in the loaf of bread that you are holding, your life is in danger too.
The loaf of bread is the story of a country's downfall for defending its land from invaders. The loaf of bread is not just food, but life for a loaf of freedom and justice.
These are the building blocks of bread
Flour, salt, yeast, and water warm
You must wait for the dough to rise
You knead, then mold to proper form.
It bakes and comes from the oven
In many colors, shapes, and sizes
Pride of knowing that you made it
It is a process that gratifies.
As life progresses thru the years
As you grow from child to adult
You will encounter many paths
As you build the final result.
For life is like a loaf of bread
In many colors, shapes, and sizes
You build it as your soul expands
A process full of compromises.
By Elton Camp
An insect we found in a loaf of bread
But, at least, it was very safely dead
How the bug came there, I don’t know
Such things can easily happen, though
Though not very pleasant to mention
The baker had a moment of inattention
Into the batter the critter took a dive
But only for seconds remained alive
The loaf was baked at a high heat
There it was, antennae, body, feet
Any germs were surely destroyed
So the bread can safely be enjoyed
But some might not find it so keen
To have this bit of added protein
Others on the bread will munch
And not mind the extra crunch
The Revolting Loaf of Bread

There was a mouse named Ted
In kitchen found a loaf of bread
But during a break
It made a mistake
got inside Oh, yumderful for Ted

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
here, between myself and myself,
God dwells when
He flees the world.
I found Him once
in a forgotten loaf of bread
on the steps of a hospice,
in an old woman asking forgiveness
for simply living.
He did not ask who I am.
He touched my brow
and retreated back into the wound.
we do not think.
we defend ourselves from thoughts
as from a fire burning within.
