There stood two trees
In different lands? may be
In different times? possibly.
There stood two trees
In different lands –
One gave knowledge to a wo/man
And the other to a man
People gave them both
The same name
The Tree of Knowledge
They called it
But, you see, they were different trees
In different lands –
One revealed Everything
And caused a second Fall
One revealed – ‘one is nothing!‘
Then the One fell* from grace.
Mankind made paper
And Forests of Knowledge
Crowd every home
Do we Fall or Rise?
*Note: After the Buddha attained Nirvana, his long standing disciples waited eagerly for the wisdom that he would share, but the Buddha disappointed them when he declared that he was hungry and wanted food.
