Protecting Blissful Ignorance

-----------------/God Approaching Incomprehensibility

A snapping twig is your remorse darkening retreating behind
the nearest bush bracing for predators preying on paranoia that
permeates all you do. Howling wolves beget shivering the cold winds
carrying their echoes callously interrupt your sleep gripped by angst
sleeping next to a woman you never can fully trust. Stones sharpened
serrated edges to save you and your family from savages slinking in shadows salivating at spilling blood you screaming and your sad fate seared into
subconscious thoughts of your grandchildren (and theirs). And
an innocence irreparably inflicted with pronounced and protracted cynicism
pessimism will become your native tongue grimacing grousing and growling
like the animals at Prospective Happiness your grim fate.
naked vulnerability will be weakness, clothing will ennoble Dichotomization
You will feel the full spectrum of emotions from the most bitter hatred to
the heights of jovial elation at falling in love
but these will be indiscriminately tainted with encompassing awareness
all must suffer loss
and every joyous beginning a somber end and with scars at all good things
taken whether accepted in due time or not.
wickedness will reign and virtue will perish under its rule to your
confused chagrin and virtue will ever be partial to corruption cruelly fretting your soul knowing this potential rests in you will forever make you
ashamed
Guilt will sleep with you and accompany and assist in every task greeting
you as your rise girding your loins as you retire cutting glances at the moon
you feel glares at you for your birth.
Pleasure will be your pain and pain will be your pleasure despising mankind
for knowing this world is all too complicated
and better left incomprehensible



(wishing a twig stepped on simply signaled the arrival of your God lovingly seeking you)

Genesis 2:16-17/ 3:8-10
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
