In the beginning God created
In the beginning was the Word 
Word was with God
Word was God
God knew Adam 
God knew Eve
Eve knew the Tree of Knowledge
Eve knew the apple
Apple has a serpent's interest
Apple in Latin is evil
Evil cast from Paradise
Evil trades for jealousy
Jealousy renders the first murder
Jealousy surrenders the first confession
Confession leads to banishment
Confession too great to bear the penalty
Penalty where a whole world drown
Penalty when a new world is found
Found a unified arrowed target
Found talk as exhaustive
Exhaustive was her age to bear
Exhaustive another learned fate
Fate ends a city's future
Fate forms 3rd following faithful
Faithful kept Abraham's Isaac
Faithful ladder joins brothers 
Brothers Joseph enslaved
Brothers tell the death of Joseph's
Joseph's sagacity ensures
Joseph's foresee an empire extends
Extends a brotherly olive branch
Extends Jacob's fatherly blessings
Blessings placed a brother's death
Blessings stay with the dearly parted
Parted death of firstborn male slaves
Parted Miriam watch o'er Moses down the Nile
Nile delivers a future prince
Nile brews rumors
Rumors cause Moses' flight from Egypt
Rumors caused Moses to deliver God's chosen people
People of Egypt and the Ten Plagues
People of God's chosen cross the Red Sea with Moses
Moses on Mount Sinai as the chosen people tarries
Moses with The Ten Commandments is angry
Angry of the golden calf
Angry at God's chosen who once was thought eternal
Eternal counts as many will not see the Land of Promise
Eternal God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are blessings
Blessings
Promise ...

Congratulations on your winning work in Silent One's contest. Way to go. The fruit of the tree in the center of the garden they should not have eaten. It was not an apple tree. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Sara K

I studied/read scriptual text of the buried scrolls from my mom's seminary period in early 70s. What I discovered was that, what had riddled back in those days (historically), goes unbridled through our modern days now. --Language Barrier & Manipulations via Religious Orders/Governments--They're many printed exactitudes out there that are (purposely) misleading. This bruhaha started, unsurprsingly, shortly after the last days of the disciples--hence, the buried scrolls. Romans/Greeks/Jews to Latin/Greek/Hebrew to Rome/Jerusalem/Greece split between Roman & Byzanthium Empires.

Changes via cultures/languages/governments--but the worst culprits was the religious orders throughout time. I awoke with my mom gone with just The Word. No will, deed, properties, etc., but this--mom's words, "What is in your heart is truth, God cannot change the truth no more than satan cast out satan" What I've written is largely, NOT wholly, basis of findings to the best of my 70s (72?) recollections.

Of course not all was read--impossible, these were originals--no KJV or NIV or nothing--mines is close, again not totally, that's widely out there but not verbatim--working on memory here, BUT OF COURSE, I'll not change your truth, Amen and blessings Sara K<--I need to remember to add that/lol.

Hi Hilo although you did the form correctly, I felt your lines were a bit too long in some places, not really short blasts.. However, I still awarded you a honourable mention for your efforts..
