A Lesson From Genesis
The Book of Genesis proves a value when
It shows us that man's problems
Come form his desire to know.
If the plant that bore the fruit
That caused the rift
In the garden
Was a tree possessing,
"The knowledge of good and evil,"
Then we have learned that knowing can be a dangerous thing.
However, the males of our tribe
Should be pretty grateful.
They can always recall
That it was the woman
Who introduced the fruit to the man.
Then again, men learn nothing alone.
