Malignant Wisdom

In a quest to gain truth, we lose what is true

Seeking light to be enlightened is a blind man’s view

A mind hidden in darkness is protected by shade

A mind stained by light allows the heart to fade

Men hunt for the fruit of Adam’s demise

One who aspires for remote wisdom, is one not so wise

Lacking what is bliss to acquire what is pain

Prometheus’ treacherous gift, but man’s ambition is to blame

For what knowledge must be obtained to make a man whole

Great acuity lacking glee is a strapping toll

A sinful trail to heaven only leads to a greater fall to hell

Lusting for divine insight is a dubious scale

A benighted man is man beyond content

Acquiring wisdom without control is a sin man cannot repent
