Story of Life

the serpent
naked Adam
slender eve
the promise land
the fruitful tree
temptation won
evils victory

the pain of birth
the indignant man
the antichrist
with malicious plans

spiraling down
the human race
the world is now
 a wretched place
 
animals that sweat and mate 
to liberate
the nervous rate
of a saddened soul
hiding from god in sins deep hole

the world now waits for the brain to swell
a invision a heaven 
unlike this earth....our hell
