I have been told
that the evils of the world
did (not) come from an apple
that we did (not) pick from trees

I have been told
that the evils of our world
does (not) come from money
because money does (not) grow on trees

I have been told
that the evils of the children
can (not) stem from our past
as they can (not) be traced on family trees

I have been told
and I do (not) believe
because I do (not) think I can change
who plants the seeds from the trees
