The Tree of Knowledge

Things were simpler,
Life was beautiful
When knowledge was limited
But happiness was not

When there was pride in learning
And curiosity was fun
When there was absolute certainty
That knowledge was power

As days grow, so does the baggage
A burden to carry, to filter and process
When knowing seems a handicap
In a world defined by a ‘normal’

The hopelessness of trying and failing
To go back, to return just once
When the biggest obstacle to joy
Is the utter inability to unlearn!

The tragic irony of life
The decision to make
Whether to eat, whether to resist
The fruit from the tree of knowledge
