The brothers fought
for control of planet earth.
Did one become the great deity
worshipped by the people he despised
while the other was vilified
and became the personification of evil
to those he had defended?
Prometheus?
Bringer of light
and the gift of fire.
Inaccurate information?
Hidden truths?
Will the tree of knowledge
eventually bear fruit?

Way cool Ida.  I like the way you make me think. I like the way you stirred the pot of mythology and Bible.

Ah, there is enough in this short, but inquisitive poem to give Dan Brown ideas. Nice work.

if I may...to answer your question with a question, "Will mankind be smart enough to recognize knowledge as knowledge should it ever occur?" mesmerizing admixture of creeds...very cool
