Rotten to the core…

More about Rotten to the core…

In a once-free country, an ancient apple tree stood, bearing amazingly vibrant flowers and fruits, providing shelter and food to many soulfully healthy creatures. Then "it" arrived, promising progress but soon imposing rules, laws and more regulations. Soon “It” brought in more soulless “its” crushing the animals' spirits making it impossible to thrive or just survive. The tree, once a symbol of life, became corrupted, all of its branches and fruit had became poison and rotten to the core. But a young sapling, born from the old tree, grew strong, rallying the animals in a rebellion against the “its”. They fought fiercely, ultimately defeating "it" and all the other “its” and restoring the land. The tree and its inhabitants lived happily, a testament to unity and resilience. But many years later the soulful animals had forgotten its past and “it” came back disguised as a friend who would help them become better and “it” brought all “its” soulless helpers in making new laws and regulations for the benefit of everyone.
