Falling Fruit
Is the fruit forever numb,
think you it lacking, dumb?
Or else an unsupportable bum,
that from the tree it must be hung
by your insipid meddling?
And you call this needed support?
When more than any you do abort,
because your fear of their comport?
Want not their brain to exercise
needy and dependant?
You salt your quisling in the pie,
then pepper liberally with lies,
but now your time is coming neigh
and this fruit will burst anew,
for the truth is shinning.

Note: This is not written in iambic, it is written in accentual verse 4-4-4-4-3, or free iambic verse with trochee turns. The idea behind this sort of form is that it allows the writer the ability to modulate the rhythmic pattern to accentuate certain aspects of the poem. Just thought I'd let you know so you did not spend time scanning it to tell me I am out of meter.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
