The apple was a story <br />Perhaps <br />For if something is not known <br />Guidance must be given <br />Before we can find home <br />For those who need no learning <br />Know the consequences too <br />But laws are passed <br />For those that don’t <br />That’s what <br />The apple <br />Had to do <br />- <br />It’s taking was journey <br />For man to set upon <br />The point to learn <br />Was learning <br />Where all answers do come from <br />The Apple <br />Was a symbol <br />A law <br />That it was wrong <br />To take something <br />You should not have <br />To man did not belong <br />- <br />It could have been a melon <br />One day perhaps <br />A star <br />The message <br />It has stayed the same <br />Forbidden <br />Is <br />Forbidden <br />We need first learn <br />Who we are <br />- <br />For if all had been for taking <br />When man first got his brain <br />If all had been available <br />All was sunshine <br />Without rain <br />There wouldn’t <br />Any loving be <br />Just pleasure <br />Without <br />Gain <br />- <br />In time it will be plain to us <br />What the apple had to do <br />In fact <br />We have <br />To use our lives <br />To find out what is true <br />- <br />For passion <br />Perhaps waiting <br />- <br />For taking <br />Giving too <br />- <br />For self control <br />Comes from within <br />- <br />Helps <br />Your conscience <br />Become <br />You<br /><br />Egal Bohen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/apple-3/
