The Cake Not Eaten Poem by Joshua Adeyemi

Seconds strained at a long run,
Minutes succeeds, each taking its own turn:

Effort to bake a cake;
Coriander and sugar with which is make.
The Mighty Almighty had did thus,
Easy baking: void of force.
And then the cake is finished and Done.

Then, sent to be by an Angel bore,
To a maiden who'd for decades hunger.
That her salivation/fasting tarry no longer.

Yes, he arrived with the cake:
The Angel the cake to her gave.

- - -
But...
- - -

Have you baked the cake to
Be by you eaten so? :
Elating her heart, gotten to her lips,
And then drops on the ground, and the Angel did it pick?
