Subject: What Should I Say?

What should I say of Eden?
It is a distant paradise
The road back is demolished
and buried beneath each sin
What should I say of Eden?
My house was burned down

What should I say of the garden?
It is a picture on the wall
We look at it every night
as prayers are offered up
What should I say of the garden?
My friend was mugged and shot

What should I say of the fruit?
It is as chocolate cake
Children have eaten it all
and are sick to their stomach
What should I say of the fruit?
My neighbor died of starvation

What should I say of mankind?
He longs for a better paradise
She dreams of it every night
and cries lying in her bed
What should I say of mankind?
I have a tendency to lie to myself.
