I cannot bite the apple of despair
My teeth reject the hardness and the core
Nor can I take a path that leads nowhere
We cannot always do what we prefer
Nor find a way to open all closed doors
I will not bite the apple of despair
Yet to a human we must not defer
God alone is stranger than our prayers
We cannot take a path that leads nowhere
Our sense of self is qualified,, will dare
To let the dove fly up from marble floors
I will not touch the apple of despair
Human life is cruel, so dark, unfair
And differences that hurt ,we can’t ignore
We must not start the path that leads nowhere
Equality, sorority, where flair?
Where the chance of learning how to care
I cannot bite the apple of despair
Nor can I take a path that leads nowhere
