The worm in our apple





I found a worm in my apple.
Yes I was disgusted.
Yes I got rid of it.
But later I thought about it.
How much did the worm eat?
Weren't there parts
That didn't get eaten?

What did they do before
There were pesticides?
Did they throw away
The whole apple?
Did they say to themselves:
'I'd rather starve than eat
This disgusting apple!'

I'm sure they did not!
I'm sure they used the parts
That were not damaged.
I'm sure they said to themselves:
'We need to make do
With what we have.'
We need to not worry about
The worm in our apple.



Farmer's Daughter





I wanna live with a farmer's daughter.
She'll make me breakfast. 
She'll fetch me water.
She'll come to me in the morning
After milking the cows.
Her hands wet and warm.
She'll wipe them on her blouse.

I wanna live with a farmer's daughter.
She'll come to me in the morning
Just as the cock rises.
Her hands red from slaughter.
I'll say 'my dear you're full of surprises.'
And I'll show her a few of my own.

I wanna live with a farmer's daughter.
She'll come to me in the morning
Her hands chapped and rough
From squeezing udders.
I tell you my girl she'll be pretty tough.
But her body's soft, her mind uncluttered.
I'll never have to seek another.

Destiny is a big eater





Destiny is a big eater.
Destiny consumes and consumes.
Destiny is a big cheater.
Destiny is never going to lose.
Destiny never doubts himself.
Destiny never says I'm sorry.
Destiny says, "Make room!'

Destiny is not all destruction.
Destiny can be construction.
Destiny is a mighty force.
Destiny is the greatest source.
Destiny always gets his way.
Destiny never makes a mistake.
Destiny is here to stay.

Destiny has a heart of granite.
Destiny can destroy the planet.
Destiny is on top of his game.
Destiny has no shame.
Destiny plays for keeps.
Destiny says read em and weep.
Destiny cannot be tamed.
