A mistake, salt for sugar in a cake, what the hell did the baker bake
Two that look the same, taste will proclaim the baker's blame
Divine plan to make a man, God with haste the recipe did scan
The baker above mistook hate for love, baking salty snake in form of a sugar dove
Used the seed of greed from a Gypsum weed
With this bitter flour man by the hour grew more sour
With little heed he did proceed, instead of raise man did recede

Thanks Norman your read is appreciated
most welcome
This is a very interesting view of the human condition.As if all the wholesome ingredients that we prefer were replaced with vile opposites.I must confess that I share the view point of the poem some times.VEry clever piece.I like the internal rhymes.Excellent
Thank you David for the read and interpretation that is spot on what was intended. Not that we don't contain wholesome ingredients as well but there is too much salt in what was intended to be sweet.
A powerful study in contrasts dear Soren🕊️🙏
