The forbidden Knowledge of Good and Evil

I wrote this on the spot today. I wanted to enter into my first writing contest on this site. I needed something that was in the form of a religious psalm from the bible.

Worry not of evil deeds

that bind thy eyes and stains thy seeds.

These godless creatures bear a mark

 reminding them they wont sustain.

 

Hark! God is True and nothing else.

And Adam sought the words of fruit,

thy father's sin is in thy root.

Seek not the pleasure of thy will,

for knowledge of good and evil.

Seek not thy duties spoken loud

but find thy purpose from quiet sounds.

Thy God has spoken to thy heart;

Seek not the difference in Good and evil.

Such knowledge is forbidden.

Author's Note

I wrote this on the spot out of anxiety to join my first writing contest on this site, but I couldn't articulate exactly what I meant to say. I intended to present this idea: When God created Adam and Eve, they were completely innocent of Good and evil. They saw Good in things, and they saw evil exactly as it is; empty. There really is nothing so trivial in this world as duality between Good and evil, but rather there is God whom is good, and there there are the godless, who are just empty. The godless creatures dwelling in this world are empty and they know it, yet they label themselves "evil" as a means to substantiate themselves. You see, they are completely powerless and pathetic, but in their Great Misery they claim some sort of fulmillment as a means to create this false image of duality. The lesson here is that we must not seek what is Good and what is evil so that we can know the difference between the two, but rather we must practice the state of Grace that God intended us from the beginning; that only one thing exists. There is Good, and everything else is empty.

Your idea is almost Wiccan in it's nature. They believe that to give Evil a name or a form is to give it power. There is not good or evil, only balance, and the part we play to maintain such a balance. Perhaps this is further evidence that the good vs. evil idea was meant to be enlightened faith vs. emptiness. Which says to me that Catholicism carries on old pagan traditions. Religions progresses rather than dies and gives way to a new completely changed religion.

Top concept there. One rarely ever touched upon even by hardcore pro-Good people. I hade a friend once that saw things much along the lines of your poem (and accompanying narrative) that the focus humans have on the so called "evil" making in substantial when it is not, glorifying it and giving it a form and entity where it hasn't. Congratulations on this. Many a theologian could not explain it much better than you already have.

Such strength and power in every line. Remind of the Poet of the old days. No wasted words. I like the complete poem. Thank you.
