Once used to stand tall the innocent mine

Able to distinguish what was right and what was crime

 

So engrossed in doing what he believed

Did never foresee his life coming to a halt

 

He did not know what went wrong but situations changed

Untruth and injustice prevailed....

 

The innocent mine was humiliated, ridiculed, insulted out in the open

Things did not seem to be happening anymore

His faith was questioned

 

Out of frustration, he walked the path he never thought of travelling

Quite often he did; not out of temptation but as a revolt to the divine

 

Deceived and cheated he felt and also moron,

As if taken away what was once his own

 

Often he tried to stand once and for all

But always crumbled back to fall

 

But the innocent mine did not fall on his own [said God ]

He was destined to fall [said God ]

 

And then the innocent mine read the book of secrets

Sooner he got what he had always wanted

 

He realized had he not fallen he would never know the secrets

And the fall helped him stand even taller!
