Crimson diamond,
this sparkling fruit
a delicious enticement
into knowledge,
of good & evil

Why would one want to know,
to unplug from the fabric
of all illusion?
a glimpse at a foundational
truth,
the one that God
can see

a matrix mentality,
this desire for the red
a promise that understanding,
will set us free

trickery of the darkest one,
though the truth he told,
a delicate mortal mind
not ready for what
had been
revealed

distant remembrance,
this sacred veil
of setting suns
time based epiphanies
of all that will come
dance into this future
and be brave,
take this torch
a burden of knowing
and set yourself
free
