If Adam and Eve Fell Down On Their Knees

Where does sin begin and end, in the mind Or beyond the stars? Is true love lust, smoke or dust When felt so near or far? Is black the lack of white and gray And what divides high from low? Where’s the distinction between Genius, Ignorance and enlightenment And those who think they know? If Adam and Eve fell down on their knees Fooled by a wily serpent’s silver forked tongue, Then God was a fake who made a mistake Leaving mankind on the run. If he knew all along what might have gone wrong And failed to make better plans; I’d take him to court under police escort And sue him for improper demands. And if love is war and saints are whores And beauty’s deceit in disguise, Then all is lost and death the cause Of every miracle before our eyes. And if history is real as movies feel And facts are made of sand; Then I believe there’s more to life and death Than what we’ve been led to understand. And if you think you agree, I disagree With every thought you think I’ve shared Because truth is stranger than any belief Any one of us ever dared.

Wow, a thought provoking write that could be a wonderful debate. Amazing statements you make in this Terry, you must be thinking about these things and I agree, they are deep. Luv, Elizabeth
