William Blake Was Right

 He wrote of three stages of life;

innocence, experience, and return to innocence.

Return to innocence is because of experience.

What Blake didn’t say is, if you don’t heed experience,

if you go down the wrong path, (because we’re all on one),

you don’t return to innocence…

you continue on the wrong path.

Give Blake a break, he was a mystic…he did, however,

draw a picture…many of them.

Innocence, then experience…what kind?

All of them.

You have to make a choice.

The road less traveled?

Up to you.

No instruction manual,

just a lot of clues.

Believe me or not, all the clues are there,

even in the Bible.

It’s a mission impossible, which you have

no choice but to accept.

Door number one or door number two?

I’m sure you wish you knew,

but, still, you have to choose.

“By their fruits you shall know them.”

There’s one for you.
