Paradise Still Lost

Paradise Still Lost Ashen snowflakes descend tears of sorrow for the fallen angels weep in sorrow gifts of divinity forsaken Squandered seed spilled in rage machine of man, far from Eden takes matters into his own hands fruit of the tree forbidden Garden of bounty held in trust the jester, trickster of illusion sleight deceiver, seller of lies the rapist of paradise, unforgiven Lost in the eyes of the blind man devouring man, sorrows coven time immemorial, crosses mark a barren wasteland devoid of forgiveness Stephen (Stoic)

I LOVE this. The title caught my eye because of its reference to Milton. This is such a meaningful commentary on the bleak state of man and society. I really enjoy your style of poetry. (Also, thank you for your kind comment on my poem!)
