Notes About The Poem

Adam and Eve were put in the garden of Eden, they came from egoism and raised to the degree of stolen altruism. Man shall parish as a result of disobeying God’s order not to eat from the tree of life. Man came from dust and shall return to dust —poet

Apple


                                    apple bites the dust 
                                a taste of forbidden fruit~
