Eve ate the sweet, Forbidden Fruit;
Almighty God forbade her to.
That asp, the Devil, was the root;
had caused mankind's corrupt debut.
The Serpent's vile, malicious tongue
led her to crave the 'Knowledge' gift.
Upon its promise, Eve had clung-
from Garden's haven, she would drift.
Forbidden Apple- she did eat;
her husband, Adam, took his share.
To grasp God's power- chose defeat-
and quickly joined her in the snare.
