Coffee or Tea
your best wake up brew
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.
