Poem Title:
Poem
It started with an apple in paradise or was it a date they consumed Had they kept their clothes off laundry day would have been easier The smell of seduction and no fake news Honestly who cares whether it was pure sex or sweet requited love Darwin had his way and they followed a journey to un-heavenly bliss Candied peel from a fruit of nibbling temptation It was a Saturday and procreation their Christian duty to comply With the rule of nature to mix seeds in fertile pastures of joy Russian roulette from a gene pool of ancestral relief I hear you say its the parents’ fault that happiness mutated Into a warm gun with too many bullets to the beat of a drum Golden delicious pipped kernels for conquest Peaceniks taken to task for one simple innocent transgression A nudist colony abandoned in the name of belligerent arrows Collateral damage and indiscriminate targets The story stemmed from every one begetting each other’s brethren Breathless cohabitation under the watch of place time and poppies Fig leaves of duty and denuded trees Kalashnikovs draped on the snake’s slithering sleaze and corruption Corporates bonking for virginity and testimony of final selection Dripping deceit like custard on rotten flesh Under a mushroom cloud hell fire dispenses irrefutable evidence That the emperor’s garments are ragged down to a lice infested core Adam and Eve seek asylum in a mental ward Bedlam bound in shackles to the jester’s snide mocking applause Psychotropic injections to remedy catatonic results of one violation Rape pillage and plunder and Satan as a voyeur Field brothels and comfort women un-sheath prickly pears in disguise Persimmon dishes out passion steeled in sharp blades of the paring knife And so we choke on what should have been celestial food Pious and devoted to whipped cream and second helpings of anger We feed on desolate fields and irrigate fear suffocation and slaughter Eves of destruction and her toy boy sheds venom and pain 25th January 2020
