Folk Song

This week we were supposed to write a poem or a folk song. This is my attempt at a poem, I had some help from my buddy Dominic.

  

The Apple

Eat me not, for I am sin.

Trust not in your logic,

place your faith in

your creator of myth.

And do as you 

are told

Eat me not, for I am sin.

Listen not to serpents.

Close your eyes and

do not let temptation in.

Obey.

No questions.

So cast me out from paradise.

I will not close my heart

or close my mind.

Strength in love, not in god.

I will trust in my logic

for my faith is lacking.

So my soul is flawed

if I won't believe

what is not seen?

Love in actions, not in words.

The serpent speaks for nothing

for my eyes are open.

The light seen is within

my right

to question.

A folk song is pretty much what you make it, it doesn't seem to have many definable qualities. They tend to be about nature, with some deeper meaning behind the words, some message/story that the writer is trying to tell you. While I'm decently creative with art, I'm not very creative with words. Once again Dominic helped me out. He's pretty awesome.
