The Apple Tree

The apple rots when it very well pleases

The seed just does what it’s told

It grows and grows, the ground picks up the pieces

Of the apple tree’s selfish mold.

 

There’s no free will for the sapling

All it does is provide

But it’s never enough always being the spring

Naturally, the apple still dies.
