Cacao to Chocolate
I am a colony of cacao beans,
sitting in my shell nobody to disturb me
A loud crack heard,
the shell that I call home is being broken into.
Five long fleshy weird things from the bright blue abyss,
reach out and grab me from the only place I know
I鈥檓 then wrapped in a blanket of green
for days upon days.
My new home starts to grow on me
though I鈥檓 then exposed to a very intense light from above
that strips me of all my moisture.
The five long fleshy weird things return
Only to toss me on a flat surface surrounded by fire,
A heavenly scent soon reaches me
I then realize it鈥檚 coming from me.
Once the fire dissipates I鈥漨 thrown into
Some sort of half sphere,
Where an oval-y rock comes out of nowhere and beats me.
After hours of torture I discovered that
I鈥檝e taken on a new form,
One similar to liquid but rather sticky.
I鈥檓 suddenly pushed into a silver cylinder
Along with white sprinkles, a yellow rectangle
white powder, and clear liquid
where we are then spun around and around
until we become one.
The giant being from above shouts,
鈥淐hocolate con leche鈥� with so much joy
They then devoured me until nothing of me was left
But I鈥檒l gladly die knowing I made them happy.
