blah

he once
sat on the wall
separating the wilderness
from the garden
and he witnessed
a great light
suddenly become dim
and he saw his brothers
pick up the mess
and he thought.

he thought,
what is the point
of having a choice
if there is not
a result?

he thought,
what is the point
of having a choice
if both choices
lead to the same fall?

and one of his brothers
came to him
and he asked,
why have you not helped
us clean?

and the brother did not
reply, he thought,
what is the point 
of having a choice
if you cannot
make it?

and the second brother left,
worried,
while the first sat still,
and thought.

he sat and thought
as days turned to night
and nights turned to day
and he thought,
why have a choice
when one answer will damn you?

and he thought,
why have a choice
when you can have peace?

and he thought,
again,
and again,
what is it
they must choose between?

and the answer was there,
when a great light suddenly dimmed,

and his father came to him,

and his father said to him,
are you doubting?

and he answered truthfully.

and that was when
he walked
and did not look back

and he climbed a tree
and waited.

and he thought,
why not give them a choice?

and he said to one of the two
as she came to him,
taste the fruit.

and that is
how Crowley
invented original sin
(something he
is very proud of)
