Knowledge

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Feb 25, 2020 

Choice.
Knowledge 
is choice.
Choice begets 
knowledge.
Believe.
What 
to believe?
Knowledge
attained is
not without
sacrifice.
Not without 
suffering.
Not without 
pain.
The tree.
The apple.
The snake.
Knowledge.
The choice
was made.
The path 
decided.
The fork 
taken.
Consequences 
endured.
What if
they stayed?
