All Good Things

When Eve first plucked the apple from tree
And held it roughly in her hand
She had a choice, she had a time
To contemplate her decision
But as all things come, and all things go
Fate had a hand and a voice to say
And into the apple's flesh her teeth sank,
Take a chunk of of lies, truth, sin and reason,
And expelling all her future family from the perfection.
In equal measure there was a queen
Who allowed her heart to be torn in two
As she married the king and courted another,
Loving Lancelot as well as Arthur,
She threw the kingdom into disarray
And threw the glory Camelot days away
Then in later times there was some men
Who decided that makers marks were needed.
They placed them on walls, on magical screens
That lit up and showed us new life
New ways of buying, of trying and flying
New ways to dream, with labels and signs
They changed food to branded expectations
And did away with unidentified creation
Good things come and then they go
By mere mistakes or the call of love
They speak words of hope and trust
And then they are none
Forgotten to long ago
Forgotten to myth and another life
All good things must come to an end
