The forbidden fruit

A and I have started a new pact : to write a 100 word blog that is based loosely on the "word of the day" word. Today's word is
verboten \ver-BOHT-n\ , adjective;
1.
Forbidden, as by law; prohibited.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To stand on a friend’s shoulder to march ahead while pushing him down; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To express anger towards an elder even when the elder is at fault; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To escape from reality when the world’s responsibility weights down on you; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To think about taking your own life after the loss of a loved one; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To leave everyone who loves you for someone only you love; it’s a forbidden fruit.
To desire someone unattainable; it’s a forbidden fruit.
Don’t you sometimes want a bite of the forbidden fruit?
