The Tree
I have Tasted the the forbidden fruit.
I have eaten from its tree and smoked its leaves.
The seeds are so tiny they fall into a powder.I have taken in this powder. Turned her roots into poison.
As deadly as the snake that as claimed this tree home.The taste of a bitter wine.
Be warned Do not fall asleep under this tree.
For not many awake. And fall victim to the snake.
