POETRY - SPIRITUAL


Ripe Or Not:

Knowledge, the forbidden fruit, for the uninitiated, the unprepared,
That Gnosis of the hidden, that light within the dark.
The selfish to oblivion, by corruption of morals,
Youthful Dionysian frenzy, in agony and pain, retribution and violence.
Dominion over others, carnal craving and lust,
Lower beacon glowing, voices from the dark.
Tempting vices of excitement, fulfillment of delusions,
A bargain for power, a slave and a pawn.
To appear the master demon, soul dead for ever more.
That Gnosis of the Revelation, Truth, Light and Love,
Selfless compassion to the righteous path.

Knowledge, the sliding slope to Hell,
Or not, who can tell,
Of the finite in pursuit of the infinite.
