Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

How sweet the taste of
Stolen fruits,
When first you appreciate
That, which belongs
To someone else.

Joyfully, wondrously,
But momentarily
It is yours.

How bitter the taste of
Stolen fruits,
When you are discovered
In your acts of coveting
And pillaging.

The vulgarity of the deed,
Unlike the transitory pleasure,
Is forever yours.

That One Apple we aren't supposed to taste...seems like the only one we want. This represents many aspects ... Nicely said!
