The Apple

I have never really been the religious type... and I don't really know if I would consider this a type of religious banter. All it is, is a story... and maybe a small philosophy.

So...

The world is falling apart...-

People are dying...-

Extinction doesn't feel that far off now...

But What Of How Far We've Come?

Or in actuality, have we come far at all?

It occurred to me...

It Started with The Apple

Knowledge embedding itself within an apple in the garden of Eden. 

A woman comes and takes a bite from it.

People on Earth....

A dark, cruel, adoring place that is nothing like before.

The Apple that contains the Knowledge then started the journey of digestion.

Which takes millions of Human years. 

But now... 

The World Is Falling Around Me

All knowledge will be lost once the Apple is purged from the body. 

Then the imbalance of Chemicals occurs, and Acid overcomes the body.

____________________________________

What do you think the body is? - The Human Race?

What do you think the Purging is? - The Downfall of Knowledge?

What of the Acid? - The inevitable end of the Humans?

Will we succumb to a burning death? Or will we survive?

Then what of the body once the Apple is gone?...

....

....

The Nutrients? 

but then... what is that...?

Wisdom?

So...

The world is falling apart...-

People are dying...-

Extinction doesn't feel that far off now...

Author's Note

If this story I wrote was true, then, Eve should have eaten a lot more of that Apple, because then maybe we'd have a freaking fair amount of Knowledge to save our lives with!
Then what would we need to save the world with from the Acid Reflex? The Milk of Eden? Who's the cow?! Since Satan is the snake, Perhaps God is the cow?

Eh...I don't think that God is the cow of Eden... but it would be interesting.


I'd like to hear your reviews.

hahaha your authors note was funny!!

this piece was a bit weird, but funny, and as the gentleman under my comment said thought provoking.
you are playing with symbols, i think this is very awesome way of doing that.
for me some things do not make sense at all, atleast if i take this literally, but if i take it as symbols, and symbolism, its very cool. i like how you took the apple a step further, how it was digested, and how you intertwine that with the world.

the actual writing is very nice also, it is lyrical, i like the repetition. it is soothing and sweet, even though the content is disturbing and bitter.

thanks for sharing.
