forbidden fruit

how even now to breach the task

of right and wrong defined

what some would call a sin to ask

is there for us to find

unveiling answers like a mask

if merely intertwined

with conscious conscience deeds we bask

and circumvent our mind

 

forbidden fruit demands a taste

for bidding on the game

of life so precious yet so laced

with aim to shame and blame

what we were taught that we disgraced

and what we then became

with this dilemma we are faced

are wrong and right the same

 

perhaps with knowing we are cursed

yet do we know at all

beyond reciting bible verse

what caused initial fall

humanity they tell us first

rebelled against the call

yet who was it who made the worst

in us and built the wall

 

for that to me I hope you see

is arguably wrong

to craft the beast inherently

for it to play along

with one's own game not at all free

like caged birds sing a song

to plan a whole damn judging spree

and then convict the strong

 

please understand I mean no hate

and I have gratitude

for that which here did us create

with all pure attitude

yet as I grow I learn that fate

it seems to be so crude

could it be true that we must wait

for salvaged magnitude

 

so when it comes to wrong and right

no high ground do I claim

not to perpetuate the fight

or fuel the raging flame

perhaps like darkness and its light

they exist one and same

some in the other dull and bright

to keep each other tame

Very descriptive..... a difficult task trying to decipher what is wrong or right ... we don’t need anyone to tell us, we already know!
