    The Rotting Fruit
    A ripe fruit is like a ripe mind
    A mind is a delicious grape sublime
    Juicy with thought, reveling with grit
    The core shall one never spit

    Ripe fruits and ripe minds are all the same
    They fall from trees to play life's game
    Though when rotten, one creates
    While one continues to decay

    So suck the fruit dry
    Succumb to the lie
    That your mind (laughing)
    Is ripe, ripe and so well fed
    Because in passing time it will soon be

    Dead

    Interesting concept, and definitely thought-provoking. I like the part where you say "though when rotten, one creates." I take it that you mean, as I've heard before, that people who have experienced the most pain create the greatest works of art. In a state of anger, rage, bitterness, whatever... the greatest poetry, for example, is born. Keep it up ;-)
