This fruit is not suitable for human consumption
Adam and Eve were kicked out of eden
due to an abstract act of high treason;
It's unclear if they acted by heart or by reason;
Either way they then forth suffered the seasons,
reason being that they supposedly
ate from a tree which was out of bounds to humanity.
It's said that the seeds shed light on their deeds
Disguising desire as absolute need;
if this is the supposed original sin
Inherent in man, by order of Nim,
Then why do i find no pestle nor mill
to refine out the good and distill the evil?
