Tree Of Knowledge



These eyes do see
 You observe me
 The looking tree
 Is breaking free

 I have the seed
 For those in need
 But please take heed
 The devils feed

 We are here
 Here is now
 No need to fear
 Under your brow

 Here is my light
 For it is night
 Now i shall give
 My gift of sight

 A child is born
 There minds adorn
 When will they mourn
 Their lives forsworn

 So let them dream
 This perfect scheme
 Ibrahim
 Said on a ream

 So don't be stressed
 On wisdoms quest
 When you've oppressed
 Your day of rest.
