Despair! What name
given by the devil.
Made me try to eat,
yes it did, try to
eat the sin of
hope — I told it no!
And the world, and nations
and states and peoples
took a bite, yes they did
bit into that apple of
the One but I say,
“you may have an answer
but not my question
and the world isn’t
so neat and I worry
for those who think
it’s so” —
The world, nations,
and states, and it’s
peoples, love that bite
yes they do, an apple
fallen from the
tree of life!
