The Fall of Adam and Eve
In her heart, a rage brewed
For the man whose love
She knew
She could never have,
Exclusively.
Ripe for the disease of envy
To increase;
Satan enters Eve’s heart
And convinces her
It’s God’s fault
For keeping Adam from her,
And the truth is twisted.
Adam, being of a free mind,
As created by the hand of God,
Love’s Him more than Eve;
But Satan is relentless.
There is always a path
Of separation from God.
In the Garden, a tree exists,
And now Satan has conceived
A plan to deceive Eve
And plants the seed
In her to reject God
And embrace Adam.
(The love she needs
To make her whole.)
There is a hesitation on her part
But temptation is overwhelming.
Greedily, she sinks her teeth
Into the tree of good and evil’s fruit.
Adam does the same
(And turns his back on the Lord).
They relinquish their innocence
And are banished from eternity.
They did not become ‘as gods’
But fell to Satan’s servitude.
