You a fiend a fallen being
Once basked the presence
Of heavenly glow
And yet you made
The whole world blow
That oh dear! Was an unnecessary evil
You opposed the purpose of mankind's call
And rejoiced and preluded mankinds's fall
That dear being! Was an unnecessary evil
You gave the universe sin
And ever since all the pain came in
That oh fiend! Was an unnecessary evil
I Know the night you cast
Will fade away at last
Cause one had come to make us bright
In him there beacons, everlasting light
That gave the will to fight all ills
An unnecessary evil alas eclipsed
By a necessary light.

The contrast between light, dark, good, evil of course has been done many times, but yours was novel and interesting. I enjoyed the read.
The Garden of Eden state is a state of innocence, which had to be lost in order for man to progress in evolutionary terms - hopefully his evolution will carry him forward to a state of enlightenment and the return of goodness. Very good poem.
I like this poem very much as it reminds me of all the evil we have to fight daily in our lives.
