The Tree of Knowledge

If I were not of the tree of knowledge

But if the tree of life

I imagine

I would be in the moment

Disappear mind is

Clear

When knowledge is

Unattained

The soul unchained

Mind rearranged

When eaten from

The tree of life

As animals are

And only have instincts

Small communications that might

Be the best thing with no history

To build on

There would be no insidious weapons

Or perversions

Built on past

Remembered lunacies

Disappear mind is

Clear

When knowledge is

Unattained

The soul unchained

Mind rearranged

When eaten from

The tree of life

But being of the knowledge tree

I must push my species forward

And become

The being that uses

Intellect and imagination

To improve my species

As a whole

Take away want and need

And make love and kinship

Universal and real not just ideal
