Oxymoron

Bittersweet
Black soil and baking heat
Sweat of bowed backs and little feet
Ripen as brown cacao meat
Add to the bitter for something sweet
Confectioners make a molten treat
For those of means fine dessert to eat

Contradictory in origin and in taste
Edible oxymorons don't go to waste
It is with care and not with haste
that we call you Bittersweet
