Why does the serpent terrify you so much?
Why do you imprint that ancient curse
*
conceived two thousand years ago,
on a Creation of allegory simply doing its job?
*
Fulcrum point between darkness and light,
between ignorance and knowledge,
*
between Love and Fear.
One piece of a long-ago chord,
*
a note in a triad, all three played in parallel
to create Choice, Action, Consequence.
*
Humankind did not Fall. It Awakened.
Arise from your slumber –
*
the world needs you, now.
