Tree of Knowledge

Tree of Knowledge: By Angela C. Freeman 10/2/2017 I have to constantly feed my mind There’s always something new to find It amazes me the way my mind was designed I don’t ever want to get behind There’s a tree in the bible that explains me very well I’m a lifelong learner incase you can’t tell The tree... it has evil connotations... Hell, unfortunately is the destination Satan beguilded Eve and she did eat The fruit was good...the fruit was sweet Then she fed some to her mate He ate some of it and it sealed his fate God told them to stay away Satan seduced them and made them pay He wanted their souls and to destroy humanity Now he is making me eat...I am losing my sanity He came to me and appealed to my vanity In the end it’ll be a calamity I’m a lifelong learner, but I study evil information I need to quit before God sends me on a long “vacation” Hell is not where I where I want to go He’s given me chances...I should know I just can’t stay away from dark arts I have to quit, though, before my soul departs I need to study better stuff I’ve tried it, though, and it’s just not enough What am I supposed to do? Satan is a liar...he is not true He leads me astray and then leaves me for dead I need him like I need another hole in my head He just doesn’t seem to get it...he needs to leave me be But I need the knowledge from the tree I’ve been learning from the wrong college This much, I must acknowledge My soul he has almost demolished I can’t stay away from the Tree of Knowledge I can’t stay away from the Tree of Knowledge

A loving God gives us knowledge and wisdom. Eve's problem was not "minding."
