The curse

Into the garden of Eve,
Beyond the branches of trees;
There was a old soul
(Who was evil and bold)
Defying the Divine as pleased.

While Angels flew high in the sky
And some would fly low by the lake;
The one who was bold
And evil as told
Was cursed to live as a snake.

While crawling on a tree;
The serpent met Adam and Eve.
"Do as you please"
"Take one of these"
"Rules?"
"Ah, come on please."

Eating the forbidden fruit;
They both received the boot.
Cast down to Earth, 
Where woman gave birth;
To all who works the land.
From woman to child to man.
