Salt

POETRY

Free verse

Rub a little salt onto the top of it
Rub a little salt right into it.

Just a little salt to make you feel alive
Just a little salt will make you shine.

Just a little salt when too comfortable
Just a little salt when feeling on edge.

Just a little salt for a slap in the face
Just a little salt to bring you around.

Just a little salt to put you in your place
Just a little salt will alter your taste.

Just a little salt to temper your temper
Just a little salt will take that pain away.

Just a little salt to make the ego burn
Just a little salt will give humility a turn.

I don’t want your salt, I have enough of my own
My salt tastes good; your salt tastes bad.

Just a little salt to calm your lust
Just a little salt will extinguish your desires.

Just a little salt to calm your gluttony
Just a little salt will cease your gorging.

Just a little salt to calm your greed
Just a little salt will purge your hunger.

Just a little salt to rub into your sloth
Just a little salt will shake your negligence.

Just a little salt to temper your wrath
Just a little salt will find your forgiveness.

Just a little salt to quiet your envy
Just a little salt will curb your vanity.

Just a little salt to pacify your pride
Just a little salt will see your towers come down.
