Cacao to Chocolate

I am a colony of cacao beans,

sitting in my shell nobody to disturb me

A loud crack heard,

the shell that I call home is being broken into.

Five long fleshy weird things from the bright blue abyss,

reach out and grab me from the only place I know

I鈥檓 then wrapped in a blanket of green

for days upon days.

My new home starts to grow on me

though I鈥檓 then exposed to a very intense light from above

that strips me of all my moisture.

The five long fleshy weird things return

Only to toss me on a flat surface surrounded by fire,

A heavenly scent soon reaches me

I then realize it鈥檚 coming from me.

Once the fire dissipates I鈥漨 thrown into

Some sort of half sphere,

Where an oval-y rock comes out of nowhere and beats me.

After hours of torture I discovered that

I鈥檝e taken on a new form,

One similar to liquid but rather sticky.

I鈥檓 suddenly pushed into a silver cylinder

Along with white sprinkles, a yellow rectangle

white powder, and clear liquid

where we are then spun around and around

until we become one.

The giant being from above shouts,

鈥淐hocolate con leche鈥� with so much joy

They then devoured me until nothing of me was left

But I鈥檒l gladly die knowing I made them happy.
