God’s teaching? See it in Potato!

Call it ubi gentang or bareisho
Potato in any other languages
Looks about and taste almost the same
(All religious teachings tell you to be good and perform good deeds.)
High in carbohydrate, a fulfilling dish
Dieters and diabetics beware
Watch your sugar levels
Take smaller portions, please.
(There should be a balance in everything we do.)

Serve it healthy, steamed or braised.
(If you believe in a faith, you will do all you can to spread its belief.)
Yummy too, baked or soupy with cheese.
Deep fried them and the kids will eat.
(Sometimes the way it has been interpreted and taught cause more harm than good.)

Lost your favourite recipe?
Not a problem
Do a search and soon you’ll find
Just about everyone
From any corner on earth
(A religion can originate from any country.)
Has a great recipe to share
(It can spread and be practiced anywhere.)

Wherever you may be
Substitute ingredients can be found
(Some people believe in a religion because the teachings are acceptable in their culture.)
Play with, experiment on,
And create
Your very own potato dish.
(Some people accept the belief because it meets their needs.)

Hold it! Hold it! Don't get upset with me over my potato poetry and reflections. That only shows the fanatical side of you. Do you still remember your first love? I am sure, if you could still recall those feelings, you saw him or her in everything you do. So, now, what do you see in your whatever?
