God told Eve to leave it alone
But the temptation grew out of control like hormones
She thought she could handle it on her own
Like most of us do
We walk away from wisdom
And move toward experience
We give it a license
Permission to control us
Knowing what others told us
Didn't we ever hear that curiosity killed the cat
Well all of your purring, hissing, and clawing
Can't take death back
Because you hiss and claw in Jail
Just like you'll his and claw in Hell
And all that experience you got
Just left you in bondage without Bail
Because when we ate the fruit we Fell
My friends
Leave those things of the world with the world
We must listen to authority
Accepting that wisdom is better than experience is a priority
