Comment from T B Botts
Hello John,
except for the eyes and the arms and hands, this orange looks surprisingly like the one I ate just minutes ago. It was darn tasty too. It must be getting to the time when oranges and mandarins are being harvested. Bring it on! Well done on your poem.
Have a blessed evening.

Who knows what those oranges think? I saw a "documentary" once called "The Secret Lives of Plants" and a man cut up a cabbage in front of another and through some kind of electrical analysis, the other cabbage told on him.

I think you might be on to something there, Jim. If the fruits and vegetables get together and march on us, we won't have a chance. Appreciate the review. John

Comment from lyenochka
This is humorous. I don't think you mean anything symbolic per se. I just hope that people, especially God's Church, will stay together, unified in Him, and not divided by differing political views.
Best wishes in the contest!

I can see how one might make that leap. That couldn't have been further from my mind when I wrote this fun little poem. I don't dwell on politics. God's plan is being worked out in this world and His will shall be done. Thank you for your review.
