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.
