should i eat of the forbidden fruit
or die by no one's side?
a fearful battle i have lost
should i fall and cease to fight?
its poison tastes like candy
its scent bittersweet
should i take of the forbidden fruit
or stay chained to the master's seat?
should i continue on my march
although every bone does ache?
or should i scrape my bloody knees once more
and fall right on my face?
should i proceed on with my tactics
though i do lay no defense?
or should i surrender, wounded and bruised
to live life through a through a fence?
should i take of the sweet, forbidden fruit
although darkness i tread?
or live to lie and die right here
in anguish and regret?
