the half baked pie
served at the table
is open to eat
with its crust so thick
with its crust so pale
colorless and brittle
the oven was set
to burn so slow
the time was wrong
the fire wasn't aglow
as the cook wasn't
seasoned
so the pie
wasn't through
so the pie
wasn't good
for the teeth to bite
for the tongue to swallow
in the blending of the ingredients
in the adding of the dough
something was missed
something went wrong
the color of the pie
is the color of the truth
it's white and undone
it's tasteless and bland
if the truth is hidden
if the truth is denied
the color of the pie
will surely not lie :)
