Eve Was African

Eve Was African

she took of the forbidden fruit & sinned
 now where do I even begin ?
 hands, heart & eyes
 taken from a rib out of Adam's side

 She would later hide with Adam from the Lord
 why so downcast ?
 Adam was formed first then Eve
 what would she achieve ?

 later to watch as she realized her son Cain killed his brother Abel
 may want to put that book back on the table
 For the garden of Eden was in Africa scholars have proven
 Eve was African & the first woman ever to live

 She later sought through tears willing to repent & ask for God to forgive her...
 That evil one lurks still to this day causing any to fall prey
 Learn to realize the devil's lies

 beautiful woman Eve was to behold
 eyes with surreal glow
 had a magic touch from her head down to her toe
