Who Killed First?
Who Killed First?
If it happened that there was no Fall,
Then altered would be the nature of all
Things.
Does it mean that birth would be painless?
Because if no fall, then Eve was blameless.
And what of the serpent condemned to crawl?
Would it still have legs and walk with a spraul?
Maybe the snake would still walk,
But no babies for Eve, at sex she would baulk.
Being an innocent, she knew not of sex,
So that would not matter, it isn’t complex.
Vegetarians they’d all be,
And never want to see,
The killing of an animal for food or glee.
But keep in mind, the first to kill,
Was God, Himself. It was His will,
To cloth the people that He policed,
But did not care anything about the beast,
He killed.
