This star studded tree
with glorious riches of fruit
ruby red gems
weigh down the branches.
“Just one,” she protests,
we’re all alone
no one will ever see us.
How unfair
to place such a tree here
by nature aren’t we
supposed to explore our surroundings.
Forbidding us from eating
from this one sacred tree
in a gate-less garden.
Still, she could not refuse
how much he wanted a taste
her overly confident hand
couldn’t quite reach the branch.
In that soft demure way
she asked for his help
obviously he obliged.
The bittersweet truth
of them and that tree
the fruit should never
been forbidden in the first place.
There were hundreds
of other beautiful fruit trees
to choose and decide.
Come place your faith
on if they’re going to taste
I’m begging to beg here
tell me how beautiful
this elite garden of Eden looks now.
Placing this un-holy guilt on her
instead of celebrating
the garden’s rich abundance
enough for all humanity.
Instead, we’re to believe
humans are centered on self
focusing on one
where we could potentially start
world wars, suffering and hate.
I’m struggling to understand
how this tree of fruit
started everything
I see on the news.
One response to “The Balance”
Oh my .. thank You for those beautiful words
