Eating Forbidden Fruit Young

Eating forbidden fruit young
crazy, crazy is the act
the fruit was given to be eaten
not when it is not yours
even when it is ripe
not when is not yours
even when it is next door

Plant the tree in the garden
nurture it and eat when ripe
is the rule of ages

But misfortune with her luring tongue
came as serpent with  hatched trick
in the Garden of Joy
telling the man eat, “enjoy this fruit”
to ripe do not wait but eat

And he took it and chewed
Abomination it was for all
forbidden fruit bled red milk
forbidden fruit wept
but the man had eaten it
with no permission the man ate
and as a bad thief
the man was nailed on cross of joy
crowned saint of damnation
by the lord of the cross of joy
