Time For Change

The tree of life In the garden of Eden Its fruits looked delicious But God had forbidden, Adam and Eve, to touch this tree, God planted it there for humanity To teach the difference between right and wrong. Sadly this is where everything went wrong. Eve spoke to the serpent one day, And this is what this snake had to say, God gave man free will to choose, If you prefer, how can you lose? Silly Eve believed the snake, And proceeded to make a mistake, She looked up at the tasty tree And picked a scrumptious apple She did this with the greatest of ease And did not have to grapple, Eve did not care that she had ignored The wisdom and truth of God Nor was she aware Of the wrong pathway of life, That she had trod. Instead, she bit the apple, Then shared it with Adam, Who willingly had a bite Taking it from Eve, the greedy madam. Encouraged by the evil Serpent The forbidden tree tempts Eve Eve tempts Adam, Power and greed draw all three.
