Protracted across a cassum deep and wide
mankinds conquests since we lost favour
in the garden of Eden, what war or suffering
before we ate the low hanging forbidden fruit
What need for revenge before our minds
were unhinged by temptation through each
and every generation since this loss of
innocence that threw us towards ill feelings
and hatred for pityful reasonings
Greed and guilt a common deceitful lure
a trait unknown by the pityful poor who
all to commonly share the pittence that they
have got as they do not possess envey or pride
We seek, desire, possessions others want what
you have, ill gotten ways tightens the knot, no
longer happy with our given lot we seek to claim
and give it our name all for what, when in the end
We're all mortality slain.

Ziggy,
Wonderful to āseeā you, my friend!
During these difficult and uncertain times, your poem, filled with truths and realities, has given us much to ponder upon!
The temptation to delve into that āforbidden fruitā has its consequences. As my parents would say, āBe happy and content with that which you have and donāt envy your neighbor. Imagine not having anything at all.ā
Your last line summarizes your poemās message very well.
ā...when in the end,
Weāre all mortality slain.ā
Regards...
~Laura~
