Tree of Knowledge
Tree of Knowledge:
By Angela C. Freeman

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
