In the Garden of Eden
A bright blossom
Bears a smiling red fruit
That enables the green leaves around it
To hide their greed
But a wind from afar
Picks that apple without a hitch
And carries away
The floating-off shade of Eve
Leaving behind a faint scent of the forbidden fruit
Lingering on
In the empty Garden
Sad Beginnings Lost my winnings Food stamps provided By the U.S. Government. They've made me a gangster And humanitarian They handed me Rifles And jugs full of liquor And said, only the dark ones! I shot my employer And hired a lawyer Made me a warrior No longer a voyeur For Tom and his Sawyer The Mark of the Twain The Huckle and Berry The saw and the chain. Informal insignia I'm dreaming of India Here in Los Angeles With sirens and cigarette butts My cross-bred dogs howl Like true sopranos And I enjoy the truths That we willingly share. For God is abundant Of every republic And multi complected Our Gods are but One. They all are the Higher That humans inspire The one we shall be like The day we retire. It hurts from the grinning I'm tired of winning. The made me the poor I come out with more They make me a slave I mastered the trade They made me the prey I hunted the game They made me minority I rose to authority They made me a resident I chose the next president They made me a Victim i fathered their children They made me a martyr I mated their daughter They made me a pion I lated their eon They made me a sinner I made ME a winner.
