On the table, my cup of hot coffee
sits on a saucer comfortably,
spreading steam stirs my serenity
there goes my list of priorities
and today's unknown destiny...

breakfast voices bring airs of diversity
contrasting minds present complexity,
in our world, any ancestry, or sovereignty
some, have become used to sophistry

one thing i've learned: caffeine and disparity
in opinions, break the ice of a new morning

this morning's issues overwhelm me
topped by fallacy and political travesty!
i'd rather be stuffed with bread and peppery
scrambled eggs, or peanut butter so crunchy,

but....served cold, was our coffee
and there were no fries, so skinny
disgruntled, disappointed minds realize
we're no longer in our known paradise

on my home table, a cup of bitter coffee,
sits on its saucer....comfortably,
while sipping, i recall and ponder patiently
its wakeful scent takes me to a known serenity
away from alienating airs of diversity...
