How Many Apples?

By Ashleylister @ashleylister
How many apples?

It took one apple,To open our eyesAnd gaze upon the naked bodyAshamed we run and hide

It took one appleTo say good byeLeaving Eden to the dying faithOf the lost listening to the lie.
It took one appleTo understandThe Agony of giving lifeTo a world obsessed with land.
I took one appleTo see the needFor the work requiredSo the people could feed.
How many apples will it takeFor the same to happen again?How many chances will we getTo stop the outcome being the same?
Open your eyesSee the painFeel the coldOf the falling rain

Understand the shadowsGaze upon the liesFrom governments to peddlers of faithLet no one be denied.

With closed minds we watchAs the guide leaves the chapelI cry tears of hope fading
How many apples?
