This is a hymn for the ginger god
Who lies buried beneath
His leaves perched above
Reaching for the sun
Your magnificence excites me
I can’t wait to meet
To touch your sacred face
To consume your holiness
Help me fight
This dreaded disease
Antioxidant god
Break its hold!
Permeate my body with your glorious gingerol
Return & restore me
