Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon Poet I do not know?

If You See Eve

If you see Eve,
Tell her she was not a good mother
If you see Eve,
Tell her she could have done better


If you see Eve,
Tell her she could have said an emphatic NO!
If you see Eve, 
Tell her she was avaricious and gluttonous!


If you see Eve,
Ask her why she exchanged a generation for a sour apple
If you see Eve,
Ask her why even a snake was wiser than she


If you see Eve,
Tell her her disease was contagious
If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters have been infected


If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters are at it again
If you see Eve, 
Tell her they've exchanged their virginities for an iphone


If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters have become slay queens
If you see Eve, 
Tell her her daughters have become social media dogs


If you see Eve,
Laugh at her sarcastically for she detested being naked
If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters now delightfully showcase their boobs


If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters have murdered many innocent souls
If you see Eve,
Tell her her daughters' wombs have become slaughter houses


If you see Eve, 
Tell her she initiated the song of woes
If you see Eve,
Tell her things are falling apart


If you see Eve,
Sing her songs of sorrow
If you see Eve,
Give her a mournful tear
If you see Eve...

Linda Alice Fowler October 24, 2022 at 8:35 AM Wow, no maternal instinct at all. She obviously was out for her own gratification and reward. Linda Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon October 24, 2022 at 9:54 AM Nothing of such! Here we are today.

Panagiota Romios June 24, 2020 at 1:52 PM Eve lime many of us thought if we stuff our brains with knowledge we will rule the world and be better than God. Many still think like her. Heads full of knowledge impressing nobody. Original verse... Panagiota Xi Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon June 27, 2020 at 9:24 AM That is the true picture of the society, my dear friend. Much love, Adeniji

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2018 at 9:31 AM Very interesting and original verse. Symbolically I see Eve in many places today!! Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon October 7, 2018 at 9:48 AM Dear Andrea, thank you for reading through the lines and your sight of the symbolic eve. Much love from me to you. Adeniji

Mark Peterson March 31, 2018 at 6:24 PM And all this arises, I suppose, because your were told of Eve, and then lectured by the hour so you'd believe, that authors way back then should not deceive, now disparate wayward lives, of such, how could dear Eve, conceive. This is a provocative piece of work, Dear Adeniji. Its message rings loudly across the ages. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon October 7, 2018 at 9:41 AM It is very disheartening to witness such wayward lives in the society. Thank you Mark, much love from me to you. Adeniji.

Sanket Jain December 9, 2017 at 7:54 PM First of all, thanks for reviews on my poem. Eve I could not see, but was there in each line to do so. I thoroughly enjoyed your creative verse. Refrain worked. Beautiful poem expresses beautiful heart & poet. Could feel high heart beats of hearty poem. Go on. Review my poems 2 encourage my unique Pari Style. Let's be in touch even more through such poems and reviews. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 10, 2017 at 4:57 AM O my dear Sanket, it is a joy to the soul having you on soup. I admire your ingenious blend of depth. I shall be glad to remain in touch with you. Much love, Adeniji.

Anne-Lise Andresen December 8, 2017 at 12:53 PM - Woow ... Eve`s bio ... great described ... not exactly an "angel" - Well done, Adeniji - Happy weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 8, 2017 at 3:19 PM Thank you Anne. Good to hear from you. Lots of love...

Maurice Rigoler December 4, 2017 at 4:37 PM Eve in a nutshell, but Adam's sin was greater, he forfeited his fear of God and headship to a woman. One of the best poems on this subject on the Soup. Thank you for reading my work. Besy to you. / Maurice Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 4, 2017 at 11:55 PM Adam was unable to stand against the temptation of a woman. He was not a good father and not even worthy of emulation. Thank you for the love you've shown, Maurice.

Gordon Mcconnell December 4, 2017 at 10:44 AM An excellent piece Adeniji, you really tell it well showing Eve as she was. Really liked this and funny enough the feminist movement tend to be quiet on their first Lady!, have blessed day Gordon Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 4, 2017 at 3:05 PM Thank you for checking by,Gordon. Peace be unto your home.

Richard Lamoureux November 30, 2017 at 1:41 PM Powerful and disturbing. Sadly Adam is due a similar poem. Thankfully God has provided us a way back to Him. There is much to contemplate within these words. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 4, 2017 at 9:03 AM Dear Richard, Adam was influenced under the powerful deceit of a woman. He wasn't a good husband though. It is indeed a great privilege to have our way back. Thank you my friend.

Leon Enriquez November 29, 2017 at 1:55 AM Dear Adeniji: Nicely done. You know Eve very well. A real person? Or just an imagery? Like Adam's Eve? All the best then, Leon. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 4, 2017 at 9:05 AM Thank you for the best wishes, Leon. Much love and joy to you dear friend.#Adeniji

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 28, 2017 at 7:35 PM Powerful ... powerful poetry, Adeniji! Heartfelt expressions touching the mind of the spiritually inclined. Good to see you are back again, brother.

Much love I have for you my dexterous poet.
