Apple

The archetypal apple wishes it could be
A tasty provider of nutrition
As it rightly ought to be
But carnal temptation, objects of affection
And falling not far from the tree
Is the reputation the apple was given
Before it was even a seed
So misunderstood it sits on the shelves
Scanning our eyes for beliefs
Longing to be just picked up and eaten
Without considering Adam and Eve
