The Temptation of Eve and Adam
The Temptation of Eve and Adam
I never meant to give up Paradise.
I should have been content with each golden sunrise,
But that abominable serpent had me completely mesmerized,
Whispering strange suggestions in my ears, it took me quite by surprise.
Too late I realized
That my mind had been paralyzed,
Tricked by this evil personified,
And somehow I couldn’t resist gazing into its malevolent, cold, reptilian eyes.
Surrendering to its hypnotic spell,
Blood-red apple enchanting me, enticing me, it was an easy sell.
Convincing Adam to do the same was simple and he took a bite as well.
Alas, disobedience has its consequences, and in a nutshell,
From the Garden of Eden we were expelled,
Banished to the realms of eternal hell.
Like common criminals who get caught and thrown into a jail cell,
We are considered to be utter dumbbells.
And our names are now listed in the Hall of Infamy where they will always dwell.
