Flavors of the world


Choolate, caramel, cream, and velvet

All flavors of the world that change the view,

As you enjoy the sweet indulgence,  tell me, does this change you?

Chocolate people walk the earth waiting to be accepted

As do caramel, cream and velvet.

When you taste the flavors of the world, but can't face them on the streets

What does this tell you?

As chocolate engulfs my body,

Cream, velvet, and caramel surround me

Other flavors with a different distinct taste, but sweet still

So as chocolate runs through my veins

I understand that others have velvet veins, caramel veins and cream veins

Will you accept the other billions of flavors, too?

Or do I need to do more to change you?
