Fruit of the Earth

Taste this sweet red plum

And let its juice run

Down your young, fair face

‘Til you feel joy come.

Peel a peach with teeth

Like a shark to prey.

Eat ‘til there is bone

And your skin smells sweet.

Crunch a ripe pear slice

‘Tween stone-hard white teeth

And bite through its shell

To find what is nice.

Take fruit off the tree

Each day and be free.
