We Are All Copy Cats

The original human was called Adam
We are: Copy Cats
As any printer the original is always perfect
Yet, when a copy is made from a copy and so on
Eventually it starts to fade becoming unreadable

Some will be born with defects
While others seem to be normal but, are they?
The first human created was perfect
Yet in our educated minds they were defective
Why? 

We believe that knowledge brings perfection
But does it?
What does knowledge create?
Man has created transportation for man
What does it cause? Death.

Cause and effect, 
Planes crash causing death
Cars crash causing death
Medication heals and kills mankind
Why do we have different diseases?

Some blame death on God and if God existed
Why? 
Did the person you love die from a disease?
Like any copy made it eventually fades away
There is man made death and natural death
Man made death is caused by mans creations

Natural death is caused by imperfections
Some are logical and some are not
While some excel in knowledge and,
Some don’t, some kill and some don’t
Our knowledge kills mankind

There was a tree in the garden of Eden
Called: 
The tree of knowledge of good and evil
What is good and what is Evil? 
One of the Ten commandments says:
Thou Shalt not kill.

You as an individual may not have killed but,
As a whole group we all have killed,
Created by one and have multiplied into,
Many.
Sin has been pasted down to you and I
This is why Christ died for all our sins.

Knowledge is to know and to know is,
Knowledge.
Some will see the Bible as truth while,
Others won’t why? Because, we are all copy's of,

The Tree of Knowledge of good and Evil!

An awesome poem, great questions and poetic answers, i too believe man is devolving not evolving from Adam the first man. And diseases yes many are man made or caused by man's ways. Kudos for this fab muse. I don't believe jesus died for our sins but the rest was so thought-provoking. ...... - - - - - - - - - Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

I think you misunderstood. We muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet who was raised to heaven without dying yet.

How can you believe in Adam and not Jesus?
