Chocolate vs. Vanilla

Chocolate vs. Vanilla? An Ice breaker

The first thing you get to define.

The issue however,

It’s never what you say, or how others feel.

The issues, are the borders that we trap ourselves in

Why should we have to choose?

What if we don’t define ourselves,

By someone else’s pallet?

What if someone wants a mix?

A colorful, sweet swirl

Or a fudge syrup, swimming among waves of vanilla.

Maybe the only thing needed for enjoyment,

Is an ooey, gooey, soft serve

Running down the cone like a rushing waterfall.

If someone doesn’t like sweet at all,

Would liking a sour, bitter taste

Be acceptable to them?

The people who ask the questions?

Could people who think of two flavors,

Be open to a new perspective?

A new pallet?

Or would they be stuck,

Asking the same questions over and over again?

Chocolate vs. Vanilla? 

Black or White?

Right or Wrong?

Yes or No?
