The Gift


At birth there was a package with your name on it waiting for you.
Not to be alarmed or surprised, everybody gets one, rich and poor
man alike. After you’ve made it through the shock of the birth canal

And that terrifying plunge into the atmosphere of life, after you’ve
Completed your infant routine, now knowing your fingers and toes,
And having become aware that soiled diapers are a messy and un-

comfortable thing, you begin to slowly unwrap that mysterious pack-
age which has been waiting for you. You are now ready for that long
And arduous journey into conscious thought and remembering. Fully,

Half of the contents given you is sprinkled with truth and wisdom, and
The other half contains a fabricated passel of falsehood fantasy and lies.
Now, it is your life’s work to find out which is which. You may begin.
