The Soul Food Buffet

The Earth is a giant Soul Food Buffet.

Each soul tastes a different way.

Not every one goes down the same.

Taste with me and play the game.

There’s spicy soul food, seasoned with temper.

Bringing a flavor you’re sure to remember.

But if it gets too hot, you must cool it down,

’Cause TOO SPICY souls are hard to be around.

Bland soul food is really quite boring

not enough personality added while stirring.

It can’t hurt to throw some uniqueness in there.

Elaborate dishes always get a stare.

Sweet soul food is often a treat.

Drizzles of loving care just can’t be beat.

But, don’t overdo it with sugar, my friend.

You’re sure to gorge out when reality sets in.

Savory soul food with a serious glaze

will be fine if not overly salty in taste.

TOO SALTY souls dashed with harshness are rude.

They’re too hard to take and unpleasant to chew.

Vegetarian soul food just isn’t the same.

It tries hard to be real, but it’s actually fake.

Why can’t it stand truly as what it was first?

We all go for vegetable sides. They have worth.

Burnt soul food reflects just where it went,

neglected and left in the fiery torment.

But, it’s never too late. Mama will come along

and fix up the fixin’s like nothing was wrong.

There are many other flavors at this Soul Food Buffet.

The Earth is the venue, your heart is the plate.

Don’t be afraid to taste all the different souls.

You can’t judge a dish by its cover, you know.
