Di sebalik warna hitam itu,
Ada sejuta warna,
Yang penuh rahsia,
Jika kurang gulanya, ada cerita pahit dalamnya,
Jika terlebih gulanya, ada cerita sakit sedia,
Jika sempurna rasanya, pasti semua gembira...
Secangkir kopi biasa,
Membezakan yang miskin dan kaya,
Kerana secangkir kopi juga
Ada yang berlagak kaya padahal papa kedana.
Manusia,
Lihatlah kopi sana,
Biarpun hitam langsung tidak menarik warnanya,
Tapi...
Menjadi kegemaran semua.
Namun,
Elak lah menjadi kopi, yang cantik dan sempurna
Padahal
Ada sakit dan haram di dalamnya....
