A Mystery Unfolds

The tree of life is torn
 Between the darkness and the light
 Unable to conclude or choose
 Which is morally right

 And in all the fury
 The tree of life is struck
 By a bolt of indecision
 And it withers to the ground

through the conclaves of sullen asps
one could grasp a reason for being
perhaps its in the changing of the season
burn the candle at both ends

we shall discover it as the mystery unfolds
