Poisoned Fruit

by Sean Dempsey, 4/12/22

Ignorance is the soil, and propaganda the manure required to seed a Forest of Lies.

Those who live in the woods and feed off the fruits of this forest are impervious to all manners of Truth—even when revealed to them, they retreat to the putrid shade of the canopy and cower from it.

These sycophants and dwellers in the wood should all feel a fool for every time they or their innocent children donned a “facial decoration” or medically bifurcated themselves from others merely to appease the ignorance of others.

But, unlike in the original Garden, eating from the poisoned fruit makes you feel fully clothed and Protected when you are, in fact, scared, naked, and most vulnerable.

And, worse yet, you fear and condemn all those who do not eat the worm-ridden poisoned fruit that rots your teeth and turns you into an animal.

There are some sins that are near unforgivable; and eating from the poisoned fruits of ignorance is one of them. For it turns you feral. It turns you into Man.
