What Fallen Apple Dare One
Take Sweet Bite
What value an oracle that
denies
Time and Fate both join to
join, to create
rich dessert with man's
miserable lies
and dish it all up on a dirty
plate.
What steady course to set
sail on if known
one that in the calm harbor
remains safe
Or through stormy skies,
there gaily blown
like upward drawn dregs of
useless wheat chaff.
What fallen apple dare one
take sweet bite
as if sweet happiness would
thus be found
for nowhere in mankind's long,
futile flight
is paradise sold by penny or
pound.
What hope rewards seekers
that blessed key
What Light shines, for any
and all to see.
