Peacemakers

Chocolate and Coffee

Chocolate coffee
Served to opposing armies
At a round table

No one can resist
Café mocha’s aroma
Seductive flavor

In a coffee shop
All sitting in large circles
Sipping hot caffeine

Equals relaxing
In the calm eye of the storm
Find agreement points

Similarities
Show enemies common ground
Chocolate coffee
