Ages ago, in the beginning
God said "Let there be light."
And Satan made his attempt
at darkening man's insight;
having fallen himself by denying
God's power at heaven's height.
Adam and Eve fell for his lies
and disobeyed God's command
to leave that one tree alone
just one tree in all of Eden-land.
The tree of the knowledge
of good and evil must have been grand.
The Light of the World
met his Father's challenge
on the cross, And He changes
lives still today, but I cringe
at the thought of God-asking me,
"did your light, the darkness impinge?"
John, Revelation's time traveler of old,
foretells visions of not needing the moon or sun.
New Jerusalem need never fear a black-out
of understanding, for there dwells the Holy One
the Living light. God Himself will be all the light
mankind will need when time has become undone.

Living Light Unseeking Seeker
In order to repair the breach we must finally concede
that there's a disconnection from God that we must address by deed
for as naked as Adam and Eve were when they tried to hide from their sins
we need to take a long hard look inside ourselves once again
In the sight of God we're all covered with sin like dirt on clothes
we need to reposition ourselves so of our lives God can take control
we must be brutally honest and look within our own hearts
before we can attempt to judge others on ourselves we need to start
by the way we talk, our spiritual walk and the way that we behave
as none of us are sinless let's be more united in order to be saved
put the pettiness aside, throw out the trash, the personal baggage and issues
those titles, the positions, the ranks
and prejudices that have us divided and confused
In order to repair the breach we must do a true self examination
remove the weight of sin from our hearts to be cleansed for spiritual preparation
to spend less time on those things that are not of God
to spend more time reading His Word and then taking It to heart
no longer to feel disconnected in our relationship with Jesus Christ
removing the plank from our own eyes in order to see the true joy in life
the joy of the Lord that gives us the comfort and the strength
that unlimited power supply that will go the entire distance
we must stop being so self-centered and to God open our minds
by disarming the enemy's influence and embracing God's Kind
to be there for each other more than superficially
to care and love one another more authentically
to recognize that Jezebel spirit so consumed with power and material wealth
to reveal and then rebuke it so we can retain our spiritual health
God desires to take us to a place of victory
we just need to stop being our own worst enemy
In order to repair the breach, the joy must be restored
that spiritual contentment that the Holy Spirit affords
so rediscover and reconnect to your Savior Jesus Christ
reestablish your commitment and the covenant of speaking life
forget about the trials and tribulations that God said He'd take care of
trust in Him to provide and then bask in His unconditional love
to have true gladness and the grace of God now within your reach
your connection with God has restored the joy and thus repaired the breach
A fetid fruit of tedious listless life
Ye seldom troubled at the dawn of time,
But under today’s skies ye prevail rife
And plague many poor souls in pink of prime.
If thy hoary hist’ry offers fair hint,
Ye look no old— a few young centuries,
But brisk ye now march as if life is sprint,
Look at thy boredom’s unfolding stories.
Not known so well by thy today’s ill name,
But men alone seem to be thy victims—
Men like stray clouds oblivious of their aim,
Ye plague them more who pursue pallid dreams.
As poet Kent had once so lamented:
Had Adam and Eve stayed put in heaven,
They’d have got bored sooner than ever had
On earth known as the land of thankless fun.
With scores of Twiddle-dos and Twiddle-dees,
And few things of core value to follow,
Tonight’s envy no more the next dawn sees,
Few things can hold on man’s mind till t’morrow.
Ye descend, and meaning of life gets lost,
In front of goal, one feels utterly strained,
Pursuit of life becomes when empty boast,
Man does, but never his dullness gets drained.
I have not so to do, no one to meet,
Nowhere to reach, no one for me awaits,
Such helplessness many a man may greet,
Time passes not, elapses all the dates.
When unfolding life’s wrapped in dark shadow,
Man’s very mien melts, stares like blank page,
Life’s meaning shifts from solid to shallow,
His soul has gone, his corpse seized in a cage.

“No matter how low we fall, God holds our hand ~
All’s enabled, if this truth we understand”
~ quote by poet
Both Adam and Eve were tempted
To eat the forbidden fruit
Perhaps their fall could be preempted
If they weren't so resolute
To take the devil's route
Let us together attempt to reconstruct
This metaphorical tale
Why did Adam and Eve self-destruct
Drinking not from the holy grail
Thus their soul growth derail
Eating the apple brought about shame
Of their naked body
Aroused lower mind no doubt to blame
Making them a limited somebody
Entertaining thoughts shoddy
Made in God's image man was complete
Essence of divine light
From head to toe at all times bliss replete
Temptation became the blight
Denuding spherical sight
Male and female being our polarities within
Apple representing animal lust
Negating God's love and light the original sin
Succumbing to ego cravings unjust
Thus doomed to ensoul organic dust
The serpent is our ego; the devil in disguise
Cajoling man to act on his own
Indulging in desires, stifling soul's bliss rise
Head over heart, love dethrone
A dark destiny, we now bemoan
Fortunately, we can reverse the error made
Simply by giving love a nod
We then enter God's heavenly blissful glade
Tip toeing into heart unshod
By His boundless grace overawed

Margin of Error
By Mark D. Stucky
If, statistically, Adam and Eve
hadn’t exceeded Eden’s margin of error,
would lambs now be lounging with lions?
Would toothy T-Rexes have been vegan?
Would we love our neighbors and enemies
as we love our less-than-perfect selves?
Would we make war no more
and have peace on earth?
But, certainly, mistakes were made!
And now, we should wherever possible
correct for past and future errors,
across centuries of commissions and omissions.
Like the trembling woman sprawled in the dust,
“go and sin no more” is also meant for us.

*Read it with a Nelson Mandela voice in your head,
because that's how I wrote it.*
Blibble Blob.
Is the bible liable to libel,
it couldnt lie more,
lie after lie lay on the page and lies pour,
so is the bible liable to libel?
Lie after lie lay for the eye,
line after line the lies go by,
but why is the bible not liable to libel?
Adam and Eve were made to look bad,
forbidden fruit booted out by their dad,
I would tell you more of this bull
but I've only read the first bit,
yet I'm able to say to all
the bible's full of *hit.
So why is the bible not liable to libel,
bull for the eyeball lay in the bible,
blibble and blob will be this poems title,
bubb bye all, more sense than the bible.
Once again our feet touched ground
Last once again Humanity holds me down
Again once I break your heart
And once again you cry don't start
Again we renew our vows
Once again you have your child
Again once broken my your heart
And again, once again you cry
God made the two of us why
Adam and Eve the love of the two of us
God said love one another for loving is more than a rush
Oh, God help us drive our lust
Let us know knowing rebuke our sins
Remember no one is perfect
Remember even babies cry
All creatures of God are beautiful
Now children you see birds are not
The only ones who can fly
Allow us through God to multiply
Once again let's love
Written word by James Edward Lee Sr 1985, 2019
Insane
All of us
The two of us
The ménage of us
The rain drops fall inside our heads
Just the two of us
Crazy deluded creatures
crawling in the attics of darkness
Breathing, gasping, hold on, hold tight
The air becomes a precious bond
Little one dances in the wind
Precious dreams in white padded rooms
Adam and Eve and serpent roam
The halls of the diabolical
Wondering where I have been?
I am all of you
Mirrors on the wall
Can you not all see?
We are all me and you
Insane inside mindless heads
Random mutterings
Broken bottles
Gods stolen promises
Contracts broken in the night
Insane we are
All of us
From Adam to Dawn
Holding hands for better days
Dying to be uninsane
Wishing raindrops go up not down
ATEN shall again shower us
With sunny days
Dedicated to someone here who told me once, “I am just…………. Well I say you are just a brilliant poet”
If I had one wish it would be to go back in time
I would walk right up to Adam and Eve and open up their eyes
I wouldn’t go as the serpent but as an angel in disguise
I’d say unto them “don’t eat the fruit, please try and refrain”
Because if you do, you will bring forth suffering and pain
Women will miscarry and endure the pain of childbirth
The heavens will open up rains and end the earth
However, the earth will be again
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
We will all speak one tongue then we will
Be divided into classes
We will all be men of color until one will claim to be the master
When that day comes, there will be legions of disaster
They will reign over the years living off others blood, sweat, and tears
There will be a king and his name will be Martin
He will do everything in his power to stop them
There will be no resolution
Because Martin faced execution
All men of color will be under observation
They will be a majority but still a small part of the nation
Men will suffer within for the rest of their days
Because of fornication and misbehavin’
There will be a plague of AIDS
But my father is a God of mercy and wrath
Adam, please don’t taste the fruit
And this desire too will pass
You have the world in your hands
If you do not choose
You will curse the people and condemn the land
In the end you will lose
So as your guardian angel and guiding light
I only speak the truth
I say to you “please make things right”
“do not I beg, taste of the fruit”
In the beginning when the Godhead decided a new race to create,
He made Adam and Eve and gave them the ability to procreate.
With God as Creator and Adam as father,
Eve was destined the nations of the world to mother.
The serpent so subtle and cunning caused Eve to sin,
And in that very moment the consequence of dying did begin,
As punishment God said Adam’s life would be toilful,
And the process of childbirth for Eve would be painful.
Eve was so elated when she gave birth to her firstborn son Cain,
But little did she know that he would be the cause of much pain.
Soon after she birthed her second son named Abel,
He God’s command did obey, but against God Cain did rebel.
When God refused his offering, he let anger boil up in his head,
And when it was all over his brother Abel was dead,
Even as his birth brought joy to his mother Eve,
His violence against his brother caused her heart to grieve
Though our mothers the perfection of Eve do not possess,
We their children throughout our lives must confess,
They surely inherited all her maternal qualities,
As evidenced by our mothers’ numerous abilities.
They carry us for nine months often in great discomfort,
Then have to endure the physical torture of childbirth,
After we are born a lifetime nurture and caring commences,
Often in the face of numerous obstacles and sundry offences.
The roles mothers perform are too many to number,
Nurse, wife, chef, chauffeur, broken heart mender,
Psychologist, teacher, activist, referee, entertainer, nutritionist,
Alchemist, gardener, homemaker, law enforcer and home economist.
When God the family did establish and roles for its members did assign,
A special role for mothers he did wisely design,
This multifaceted role which required such skill could be filled by none other,
Than the indefatigable, amazing person we simply call mother.
So, on this day devoted to the honor of mothers,
We pay tribute to the ones who spend their lives caring for others,
Whether they are alive or dead,
We will never let the memory of them fade from our head.
