Salt

Salt is confused

It dissolves to taste good

But the origin, how strange

The corrosive sodium with

Furious element chlorine forms

To a gentle compound, to build taste

For giving fuel as food to the brains

Inventing all such reactions

Salt too analysed, when the elements

Merging into compounds, they turn

Their faces how indifferently

Salt tasted the salty flavour of tears...
