A Mango Dialogue

It's amazing how a simple word can be as an inspiration and be created into a masterpiece. Just a single word can make you think of so many things. It was funny but yet very artistic and deep to make such a nice poem about a mango. I just imagine how good the mango tasted to inspire someone to create a poem about it. Sometimes I wonder how powerful writing is because is not only giving the reader a story but it also gives a vision, a picture.Both poems were deep and so very true because the poems were not only talking about a mango itself but about life and our existence. The lines that I sincerely loved were:

"How does that song go About eating life
Until it drips all over?
About taking in
The juice and flesh?
About passing body sin?
Souls at a feast of life
Biting down to the seed"

Like I was saying it does not talk directly about a mango it expresses how fast life can pass by just like eating a mango, it passes by as fast as a blink. So live your life to the fullest and suck and squeeze all the juice until there is no more juice left.
