Justin - Chocolate

Bite in Lying
Take a cookie
Take a bite
Bite the lie
Bite your tongue
Tongue assaulted
Tongue is tasting
Tasting the lie
Tasting a fake
Fake delicacy
Fake chocolate
Chocolate is dark
Chocolate’s not white
White is for rice
White is for milk
Milk is for dunking real chocolate cookies
Milk is for making the cacao less bitter
Bitter is the flavor of authentic chocolate
Bitter are my thoughts against the imposter
Imposter, nothing but sugar and dairy
Imposter, using an icon’s name
Name it something more appropriate
Name it not for all it lacks
Lacks the strength
Lacks flavor
Flavor is the melted essence
Flavor gives the substance life
Life in this is only shadow
Life proves this pretentiousness
Pretentiousness calling this gourmet
Pretentiousness claiming this superior
Superior white?
Superior- I laugh
Laugh at the claim and name
Laugh, laugh while I cry
Cry “White chocolate”
Cry “I’ve been fooled”
Fooled by the name
Fooled by a promise
Promise of complexity
Promise of passion
Passion drives chocolatiers precision
Passion is dark, never pale
Pale in comparison to the truth
Pale grows my face in wonder
Wonder why this thing exists
Wonder by its creator’s lying
Lying by saying this is chocolate
Lying by saying chocolate is white
White…
Chocolate…
