An apple, they say
But why Eve?
Was it a woman who first saw
Lies beyond God’s command?
Was it a woman who first decided
Not to follow blind orders above?
Free will, they say
Yet He was angry at her.
Hey, Eve,
What was it like ?
Tasting knowledge at the first hand
Were the devil’s promises
Appetizing?
I think so too.

Was it a woman who first saw

Was it a woman who first decided

Free will, they say
Yet He was angry at her.
Hey, Eve,
What was it like ?
Tasting knowledge at the first hand

a prose about an apple, from an old collection.
