Eden

olivergreenwood20

God blessed us with a beautiful world   

He made the animals smile   

The fruit grow   

And the wind blow with the warmth of his love  

He had given us Eden,

he had given us life  

We were nothing less than perfection 

  We were happy. 

  We frolicked with the animals and ate the sweet fruit from the trees 

  Our purity and innocence induced a golden bliss upon us. 

  We promised to take care of his perfect creation, and in return he gave us the world.  

It was ours from the grass to the sea

  Except for one special tree. 

  Upon questioning God, he stated,

"You must not eat fruit from that tree, and you must not touch it, or you will die."  

We followed his command but our innocent minds could not prepare for IT

  A horrible creature that entered through her.   

It smiled with love,

It talked with style

  It seduced her,

Its scales of deceit going unnoticed  

She trusted the creature and ignored my warning. 

  Its teeth gnarled with evil intent,

Its soul dosed  in darkness,

yet It seduced me as well.

  It implanted Itself into our minds,

a web of lies forming in our head, solidifying into truth.

  Then one day It led us to that special tree  

It threatened us with leaving, saying It would never return 

  It told us to eat the fruit, a coy smile stretching across Its face.

  We were ignorant to Its manipulation and deceit

  We forgot the warnings  provided to us 

  We gave into Its desire and ate 

  It laughed, watching as our minds opened to the same evil It was created from.

  It watched manically as It destroyed us.  

And then, It left.

    Our world now dark,

our minds now evil,

and our bodies now dying.
