One Cup Of Coffee and what it does to me

ONE CUP OF COFFEE

One cup of coffee.. every day.. for 45 years..
you have made me bitter, impatient, angry
.. full of heavy metals.... caused acid in my stomach..
drained calcium from my bones
unnaturally stimulated my heartbeat... eroded my optic nerves...and reduced my sight.
Your dioxypurines* crystallize around my joints
jabbing me with pain
making me rigid, inflexible.. both in mind and body
making it more difficult for me to concentrate after
the initial high
and the decaffeination chemicals stink in the alternative
(unless they are saltwater decaffeinated).
I have not always bought organic coffee... and the insecticides in each cup make a poison brew.
The caffein is a diuretic.. stimulating frequent trips to the bathroom. Coffee is also a factor in bladder and pancreatic cancer.

Your bright berries grow in the high mountain
sun..I love you coffee trees
but may I switch to blackberry and blueberry
and elderberry teas.. not teas steeped in the leaves
untimely ripped from their mother trees

but teas from berries.. given freely by the bush and vine

*dioxypurines are addictive caffein in coffee... but even stronger are the
trioxypurines, the addictive oxypurines in animal flesh
which come from the uric acid or pre-urine in all meats and
fish.
** It used to be said that only a king like Henry the 8th
could eat enough meat to contract gout.
