the Apple Gives Meaning to Life
Giovanni Maria Tommaso 1950 (Rome)
the only way to the Father is by Jesus
the only way to anyone's father is by
their progeny & by them we can know
the personality & character of the father
so what is this life & its meaning in Jesus
it is the struggle of what we call good vs evil
the struggle of what we call human vs divine
the struggle of what we call life vs death
the struggle of what we call darkness vs light
the struggle of what we call truth vs lies
the struggle of what we call faith vs doubt
the struggle of what we call male vs female
the struggle of what we call pleasure vs pain
the struggle of what we call humanity vs inhumanity
that all this began with a directive & a tree
& from that tree incident a lie permeating
& saturating every aspect of natural life
an apple from conception to natural old age
while the antidote is not more of the apple
but less & less of its ignorance propaganda & lies
that we may see truth in heart & mind as it transpires
transforms & transfigures us by the cross to eternal life
