Trespass-Filled
Evil, like a snake, crept into Eve's mind.
Adam shared the apple of Eve's conceit.
Had they, in their unconsciousness, gone blind?
Did they think that they'd, with Yahweh, compete?
Cain's conscience convinced him. He killed Abel.
Crimes mingled with mortals, like blood with flesh.
What else, except sin, seemed to be stable?
Shouldn't, like babes, humans start their lives fresh?
Could Moses and Aaron thrive in their goals?
Could saints and prophets end every evil?
Could mundane fortunes save the human souls?
Could whims of physique charm the psychic will?
Earthly creatures seemed as though they'd gone mad.
Jesus, the Christ, saw these, and he felt sad.
