Chocolate, vanilla, honey,
It shouldn’t matter.

A gift from above.
Sent to love and be loved,
To discover and create.
How does it matter?

The majority is oblivious,
Absorbed in their riches.
The minority is lost,
Unaware of the opportunities.

Lips kiss,
Fingers touch,
Heart beats.
Eyes cry when it matters,
Because it shouldn’t.

Chocolate, vanilla, honey,
When will the matter stop?
