The World-Famous Chef
People know the
Dishes you've presented
But are they willing
To try the taste
That you've so incorporated
Into the landscape
That people are dying
To explore,
But fearful, refuse
To go on the journey
And decide to only
Judge on the presentation,
Pointing out the fowl
Smell, critiquing
Your lack of talent
Without noticing the
Beating heart
Underneath, which
Creates a spice for
Such a dish
They call it a poor
Execution, they point
Out how much time
You've had but wasted,
Staring at the pan
With oil burning your
Skin, the same oil that
Claimed to annoint you
As it baptized you with
Fire, saying it's too
Late to turn from
Your sins, while refusing
To taste your dish?
