I've lately discovered for myself
That drinking the mate tea,
In the way of Latinos ceremonial,
Is as bitter as my bitter fate, I vouch.
I'd like it be no bitter than the bitter lager,
A way I could get through my days
Without bottling bitterly;
So be it up to my last bitter breath.
I only sip Chinese tea as I drink the Iron Buddhist, a.k.a. Iron Kwan Yin. We usually make it really strong, and we drink it in small cups as if we were to sip wine. I have not tried and Latinos tea yet. Didn't even know they make tea.
This could be a metaphor for our bitterness over Latinos. There is only so much bitter that I can take, and then I want to either the bitterness or sweeten it a bit. Like dark chocolate. There is a bitterness to it, but it's darkness is sweet.
