Chocolate delight
Bliss in one bite
Enjoying it through the night

Creaminess in my mouth
Sitting like a sloth
Dreaming of a bath
Of chocolate fudge

I gobble up the bar
One block at a time
One hand sticky
The other thinking of rhymes

I give some to my friends
Some for myself
My friends thank me
We enjoy by ourselves

Crushed cocoa beans
Roasted and liquified
Poured into moulds
And solidified

Packed into large wrappers
Sent out to stores
Reach my giant hands
Delicious to the core

First made by the Mayans
Used in spiritual rites
Then the Europeans came
And caused a lot of fights

They stole the cocoa beans
Planted 'em in Africa
Began refining them
Added lots of sugar

Today, I sit calmly
Breaking my chocolate bar
Aware and in this moment
Wondering what makes them what they are

They were highly divine
To the ancient Mayans
Indeed quite fine
A timeless sign
