FALL OF MAN
Blind as man is
He sees not beyond his nose
Befriending the devil
Bringing temptation very close.
Blind as man can be
He heeds not Adam’s tale
Of how he yielded to false desire
Trading eternal peace for a bite.
Like steel in an inferno
Samson melted at a touch
Surrendering his strength and will
For a deceit that cost him much.
Blinded as man always is
The cause of his fall lies just beneath
But he cannot see, for his eyes are veiled
Clouded by the scent of lust.
