Paradise lost

Paradise lost

We danced with thieves with murderous intent.

The laughter and fun were screams of utter depravity.

Did God assassinate the angels as semen ran

From fruitless loins.

Blood dripped as rain from heaven’s elaborate steps.

Paradise is lost. Adam molested his sons.

Eleven daughters gave birth to twenty new lives in a settlement.

Began the first in human history

Eve had a tempestuous affair with the snake of lust.

When Adam got old, someone stole his honesty.

He had wanted to play the oboe.

From this immoral beginning, animals in the jungle cried.

The obscene humans were unstoppable.

And now, and now, we wait for the nuclear war to commence.
