Holding the apple of Eden
What if the apple of Eden had a label?
What if the user indication had included a health warning to the 14th century Europeans?
What if the apple of Eden was clearly marked
"HAZARDOUS FOR ETERNITY IF CONSUMED"
And even though it is the purest of organically grown
What if you would have known,
That the man who proclaimed "I have a dream" would catch a bullet with his face:
Jim jones would allure a thousand to their death, hundreds of babies in Jonesville
London would burn
Solomon's tower would crumble as the wall of Jericho did
Chained slaves would be thrown over board
Tutankhamin would have his head split at the age of 13
The twin towers?
What if fair label practices forced it to divulge:
Pass-over inevitable
Holocaust to be expected
Possible genocide
Surgeons general warning: ALL ALIVE WILL DIE
What if it were you, my wife, who reached out your hand and held the devine fruit to feast upon?
I'd be 1st to bite.
