The Fall of Man
Tempted…by the slithering serpent,
Eve accepts the forbidden fruit,
From the Tree of Knowledge.
Resulting in permanent expulsion,
From the beloved…Garden of Eden.
Escorted…by the archangel from fruitful reality,
Into the lone barren horizons.
Adam and Eve, contrary to previous happiness,
Both walk with an ashamed sinful gaze,
As they forcefully flee…from Paradise.
