Coffee or Tea

You want to have a balanced day

Take time to consider the way

Which your morning brew can play

With chemicals your brain needs

Planting them like seeds

Or according to certain weeds

As herbal tisanes and feeds

Of injected cups full of leads

That take you to the next

Cup of joe or matcha vertex,

Don’t be inclined to make dex

Or body may give you a hex

You don’t aim to flex,

Peaks and valleys of headaches gain

Impetus instead of a tranquil plain,

You once sought instead of pain

That impedes progress of mental trains

You knew would cascade

But the intended begins to fade

Away in the nights stygian parade.

night, evening, sky, stars, dark
