The world is infected with sin by one choice... |
*To fully understand this poem, please read Part 1 & 2 on my portfolio. Thus, Adam and Eve did walk with their God. The Garden of Eden was where they trod. But Satan was there To mess up the whole plan. He thought God was unfair To give Earth to man. There was fruit in a tree of which they shouldn't eat. They ought not to desire this unfavorable sweet, But the Devil did tempt Eve Who relayed to her spouse. Their God they did leave And were trapped like a mouse. The couple chose not to take God's advice So God banished them from their own paradise. Yes, they were driven From a legitimate heaven. The world that we live in Was infected by leaven. The world that we know, driven by sin - This is the story of its origin. Death and pain And evil desires The world did gain. 'Tis what it acquired. Where there once lay gold, there now lay dirt. What once was pain-free, now immensely hurt. Now we often fall Onto these dusty paths And we don't recall The need of a bath. 'Tis was the state of our previously mentioned friend Who, due to despair, seemed to meet his end. Now, as I think again Of the man and his woes How did those clean men Ever wash their clothes? If the whole world was infected by sin How did those men come to the state they were in? Can our friend untape This unbearable curse? I'll tell of his escape, But not in this verse. |
