Oh Apple!
                  Why are you so Green?
Your flesh so vibrant,
                   your core's unclean.

The Kernel of your seeds corrupts
the ground to which they're sown,
and fetid ghostly beasts escape
from soil in which they're grown.

Oh Apple!
                 Why are you so Green?
Your look seems bright,
                  rotten heart unseen.
