Out of Eden

Out of Eden

 

The story might be that Eve only had a bite

Of the apple, it was good, Adam she invite

To have a bite too, since goodies must be tasted

Between them as lovers do. Then they hasted

To hide away because they heard God’s calling

 In fear and flurry it slipped, to dust falling

 

What a pity and what a wrong

They had not  eaten it to its core

Thus of knowledge they had little store

That’s why humans blunder along

half wit, innocence at a loss

Original sin, lifelong cross

Upon acquiring wisdom one dies

God, is this the Permit to paradise
