Manto Blame

In the beginning, when man became-
Murder and death seemed a fun game.
This was not what God meant
When giving us consent-
To our own choice, only man is to blame.

No! It was not what God meant with the consent he gave humanity. He didn't mean for our minds to make a covenant with death, and then try to acheive it. But he gave us the power to live life, not death. Congratulations, Amy on a fine presentation, and your support for the contest, Agape, Moses

good one, Amy, I hope it does well. And no, I was not traumatized by my earliest childhood memory. I think i must have kind of liked it. Otherwise, I would not be so crazy for Stephen King movies today. haha! Luv, Andrea
