FOWC-Asinine

The Asinine Ways of the World

The world can be asinine, Full of foolishness and crime.

People behaving like they have no spine, Making choices that defy all rhyme.

Leaders making promises so hollow, Ignoring the world’s plight and sorrow.

Wars waged for reasons so shallow, Tears and blood shed, no hope for tomorrow.

But amidst the chaos and the strife, Some keep hope and love alive.

They fight for what is just and right, And make the world a better sight.

So let us not be asinine, Let’s work together to build a brighter shine.

For a world that’s filled with hope and grace, Is a world that we can all embrace.

The Crisis of the Coffee Shop

Alison had been running her coffee shop for the past five years. It had become a popular spot in the neighborhood, with regular customers coming in every day for their caffeine fix.

She tried different blends and roasts, searching for the one that would match the quality of her previous supplier. Weeks went by, and Alison’s stress levels were at an all-time high. but still no luck.

Just when she was about to give up, she stumbled upon a small coffee farm at the outskirts of the city. The farmer had recently started growing coffee beans and was willing to sell them to Alison. She tasted the coffee and knew instantly that this was what she had been searching for.

She quickly ordered a large quantity of the beans and got to work. Alison’s hard work paid off as her shop once again served the best coffee in town. The crisis was over, and the customers came trooping back to her coffee shop.

Alison learned from her crisis that every problem has a solution and every challenge is an opportunity for growth. She realized that she had to keep pushing forward even when it seemed impossible. She promised herself to never back down in times of crisis and to always seek alternative solutions when faced with obstacles.
