Strange fruit comes from
the Idola-tree.
This tree grows tall and strong
fed with fear and desire
sometimes pretending to be
love. But love doesn’t feed
this tree. It is a strange love
that looks like greed
that looks like hunger
that looks like jealousy.
It is not a giving kind of love.
It is not an open kind of love
that is filled with
joy and compassion and care
for your fellow human kind.
No, there is no kindness
in this tree.
Fruit of this tree is bitter,
small, and it chokes
as it goes down.
The fruit of this tree will not
fill you up will not
nourish you.
The fruit of this tree
never ripens into anything
other than disappointment,
never creates anything more
than a sick feeling in your stomach.
