Lost Paradise

Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden, then they started eating meat Away from plentiful fruits and vegetables, they started a fleshly retreat Unwittingly sliding down Jacob''s ladder Man falling from heaven down into dark matter Away from the light of spirit Closer to the root in this world and no longer intuit Taking deep dives and swims in the infamous cesspool Aimlessly moving through waste, playing a devil's fool Now man is eating science projects like a sweet treat So many manufactured food-like items that's Beyond Meat Just wandering and meandering; meandering and wandering A futile external search for sustenance, peace, and truth finds man perpetually scampering Lost Paradise Paradise Lost How much time and energy will man exhaust? Lost Paradise Paradise Lost How long will man pay this hefty cost?
