Tea or coffee ??

You took a sip of me ;

Hardly were able to gulp it down your throat .

"A waste of bucks";  You said .

And In a haste ,

Threw me in the bin .

Your thoughts about me ,

I still remember , were  ;

"I was useless and a complete waste " .

The same you even voiced ;

Perhaps in a haste, I guess  .

But it was your mistake !

Which you realized soon ;

When I was preferred by the rest .

Your expressions , now changed ;

When compliments upon me rained .

A sense of regret ,

Maybe , too you gained ,

For your deed;

Of flushing me down the drain .

I was of some specific purpose !

Maybe, just not your 'Cup of tea ' .

I was afterall an 'hard espresso' indeed .

Preferred by adults,  and not kids .

Your thoughts are now ,

Too clear and a bit loud ,

That can be now heard ;

"Why mock someone's choice "?

Is a question you want to ask, but fear .

Then let me just clarify .

This ain't about choice .

But it is about the way ;

Your opinions you give a voice .

For it is important to understand,

That at times ;

There are poems with lines,

That don't rhyme .

Alas, we need to have,

Some compassion within us .

And take a moment to rethink ,

Before, any remarks we pass .
