At a time when man was truly free
The forbidden apple
Stood at the tallest tree
Bearing such beautiful fruit
That all living things came to see
It was said to contain knowledge of how this world came to be
But beware for even a single taste will rip you of this harmony
Yet Eve didn't listen
for the serpent whispers sweet words
to hasten without hesitation
Unable to shake the thoughts which led to temptation

There are so many temptations in this world but age teaches us which are good or bad.

Good write Ink.
I'm not sure if it was the tallest tree, or if it was an apple tree (it don't say!). I think it was set in the middle of the garden though.
Oou very true it was indeed an Apple Tree
But it don't say it was an apple tree, unless it's in some Apocryphal writing - books that did not make it into the Bible, being spurious or odd in some places, but still with some useful things in them.
It could have been though. If not, what else may it have been?
Temptation is temptation per se but did humanity need it camoflaged in the mumbo jumbo version christianity inflicted upon us in the bible?
