In shadows cast by prejudice's might,
There lies a tale of a coffee shop's plight.
A place where hearts should intertwine,
But instead, division draws its line.

Upon the streets where harmony should bloom,
Stands a cafe shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
Its doors flung wide, inviting all within,
Yet poison whispers, drowning in their din.

Behind the counter, a barista's weary smile,
Conceals the anguish felt, mile after mile.
For in this realm where hatred takes its hold,
The brewing coffee is tainted, bitter and cold.

Unveiled on walls, the menu lists its cost,
Separation brewed, lines unequivocally crossed.
Words of exclusion, whispered and proclaimed,
A toxic symphony, a harmony untamed.

With every sip, prejudice flows so free,
A concoction of ignorance, for all to see.
The aroma tainted, the flavor sour,
A brew that sows division by the hour.

But deep within the coffee beans' core,
Lies the power to open minds, to restore.
For diversity's strength, when embraced,
Can banish hate, leaving no trace.

Let empathy awaken from its sleep,
And fill this shop with compassion's keep.
May love pour forth, a healing balm,
To transform this place, break the hateful calm.

In the realm of coffee, let unity abide,
A sanctuary where prejudice subsides.
Let every cup blend stories from afar,
Creating harmony, the truest bazaar.

For in this tale of a racist coffee shop,
There lies the hope that bigotry will stop.
Let the world's colors blend, a vibrant blend,
In a café where acceptance has no end.

It's incredible that the community can allow this man to operate in Pinellas County. The owner, Cliff Gephart is a card carrying member of far-right fascist organizations and was even at the January 6 coup attempt at the Capitol. How is he not in prison like the traitor he is?
