Choices
“At first, mind untainted and body untouched – taste the forbidden fruit. One nibble results in one bite results in one devour. Take thy purity, run away. Take thine innocence, run away. Take thy heart, run away. What shall be left in the wake of mistakes? Shall it be mistake that causes regret or regret that causes mistake? Who then lies responsible? Who shall taketh that which doth not belong to them and belong to them that which is took?
Second now, mind tainted and body touched – eat the forbidden fruit. One devour results in another devour results in addiction. Take thy corruption, hide away. Take thy affliction, hide away. Take thy pride, hide away. Mistakes can be unmistakened, redone, undone, redid, undid, relived, learnt. Shall you learn that which is taught or shall you move in ignorance? ”
Path of Ignorance
“Shall one walk the ignorant path? Shall one ignore that which was taught? Shall one blissfully plant and harvest the poison that is doubt – that is deceit? With doubtful seeds planted into fertile soil only produces fruits of doubt. Can this doubt be cultured? Can these doubtful fruits be named?
Shall ignorance be thy bliss? Turn thine eyes unto none but pleasure – block the pain of the world, the real truth of the world from thine eyes. Will this satisfy the ignorant? Will this act as water and nurture the doubtful fruit? Will this be your shield – the ultimate defense – against that which you do not realize – that you refuse to realize?”
