Can Five a Day Contain a Quatrain of Apples
Imagine if today were the anniversary of the day
A phantom, some angel came down here to say
Or more to compel us to change our ways
Stop selling rotten apples from your tray.
To the nuthouse for the laughing stock
After they're bound in a block of wood
Ten paces back, soft apples stuffed with rock
Men's faces cackled as good shots were got.
That apple of God's eye
That in a pool of blood does lie
Humans'll shoot a messenger from upon high
Much quicker than they'll stop to question why.
If you believe all you read in some damned book
To men God apparently foresook
When some banned apple got took
Inside all of you is a seed if you happen to look.
If you nurture and grow, like a parent show
Fill me with Love we'll reach for above
Nature will flow if we leave it alone
An apple's just a tree, wrapped up in a glove.
