Eve Gave Birth To Reason
Man was once content to stay
uncomplicated and free.
For flowers bloomed every day
and fruit hung from vine and tree.
God tested the soul of Man
forestalling self-awareness.
And for an infinite span
Man lived with this unfairness.
Only if Man disobeyed
could He gain free will of thought.
And when Adam wasn't swayed
a woman's touch was sought.
Woman came into season
because God thinks in abstract.
And Eve gave birth to reason
though Man found sin in her act.
Man rose from ape to being
and found there was no way back.
For when God sent Man fleeing
there was no way to backtrack.
