Rice
sun shining
the fields open
plants growing
people plowing the fields
rice is being harvested
so the rice grains can be milled
some make an horchata drink
in the Mexican table
some make a champurrado
chocolate rice porridge
eaten in the morning by the Filipinos
live as part of the equality equation
do not blame rice for your bulging tummy
It is not the rice's fault
eat what your body needs
which means it can only be half a cup
and not a plateful
flat rice is used in many dishes
pounding it gives
another taste sensation
the puffed rice in India
is eaten as sweet in Asia
the vinegar is used to make a dressing
that is what we use it for
live as part of the equality equation
do not blame rice
It is not the rice's fault
eat what your body needs
which means it can only be half a cup
and not a plateful
the sticky rice
is a staple in Thailand
cooked with coconut
and mangoes
be grateful for the rice's expression
it is here for a purpose
why trade it in the futures market
for profit
when it is here as part of the whole
doing its purpose
the carbohydrates in it
are here for a purpose
do not overeat
for it will show
we are using it
to entertain ourselves
not for what rice is here for
let us not blame rice for our weight
It is not the rice's fault
it is here as part of the whole
doing its purpose
