Tree Of Knowledge

born without knowledge
man only knows need
and driven by hunger
he cries out to his mother
peace is primal in Eden
in the infancy of humanity
there is no need to choose
there is no hunger or thirst
hidden desire outwits us
the allure of eternal life
the kiss of infinite wisdom
our oceanic dreams awaken
men reach beyond hope
to join their imagined god
to be satiated and to know
to grasp the mystery of ages
so the apple is consumed
and with it innocence dies
and there is peace no more
but only the hiss of a serpent
