The Gift

The most beautiful gift
ever bestowed upon man
is intelligence ....

the gift to inquire
the gift to reason
the gift to explore
the gift to wonder
the gift to love

The worst gift
ever bestowed upon man
is understanding ....

the gift that makes man wonder
why is he here
what is his destiny
what was the reason
is the reason
when
or
will
he ever
understand....

if man tasted the forbidden fruit
from the tree of knowledge
then the joke
was on him

Gomer LePoet ....
Any man who thinks he knows the truth is either a fool or a liar or maybe both....
