There Will Be Sweet Apples and Rotten Apples On Every Tree You Find

A prose poem about the sad reality we live in and how no place is perfect

On every tree, I'll find and see sweet apples and rotten apples. Some are green like the bells-of-Ireland, red as carnelian rocks or yellow like baby chicks. Some are little like ring pops, medium like books or large as crystal balls. Sweet apples and rotten apples are not the same. They could hang on skinny branches, tumble from the trees, lay on the dewy grass or be scattered along the silver sidewalks. They are on every spot on this earth. I can eat the sweet apples and discard the rotten apples.
