Return To the Garden

In the Garden, Adam and Eve
  ate only fruits and green leaves
An herbivore, man was meant to be
  Today, mostly carnivores we see

Our sins changed our natures
  We lust after burning desires
For us to return to the Garden
  Messiah! Please come today and inspire

Such a beautiful and thoughtful plea to God, Gershon ! Unless God intervenes, man will eat up his fellow beings ! Sadly that's what we see now.....

Rabbit food is for rabbits. As my grandfather said, "God made deer to eat the grass and man to eat the deer!" Deer me, what you are missing! What is the difference between killing a deer to eat and killing a plant? Only because you can't hear the plant screaming it wants to live! Go ahead and torture your lettuce leaf, pour vinegar on its wounds before it becomes limp, chill, Gershon chill!

Gershon, With the evil that's going on in the world. Crying for the Lord to come would be a Blessing. Thanks for your poem, enjoyed. Blessings ~ Debra

And, they also ate the forbidden fruit. Alas!
