Eve, Oh Eve Poem by Taslima Nasrin
Eve, Oh Eve
Why wouldn't Eve have eaten of the fruit?
Didn't she have a hand to reach out with,
Fingers with which to make a fist?
Didn't Eve have a stomach for feeling hunger,
A tongue for feeling thirst,
A heart with which to love?
Well, then, why wouldn't Eve have eaten of the fruit?
Why would she merely have suppressed her wishes,
Regulated her steps,
Subdued her thirst?
Why would she have been so compelled
To keep Adam moving around in the Garden of Eden all their lives?
Because Eve did eat of the fruit,
There is sky and earth.
Because she has eaten,
There are moon, sun, rivers, seas,
Because she has eaten, trees, plans and vines.
because Eve has eaten of the fruit
there is joy, because she has eaten there is joy.
joy, joy-
Eating of the fruit, Eve made a heaven of the earth.
Eve, if you get hold of the fruit
don't ever refrain from eating.
Didn't Eve have a stomach for feeling hunger, A tongue for feeling thirst, A heart with which to love? great write great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A voice of protest on behalf of all women who have been subjected to persecution by the society for centuries and treated like a second class citizen. It bears the stamp of Taslima Nasrin. Thanks.
Because Eve did eat of the fruit! ! ! We are all doing the same thing in earth today! ! Without following after righteous laws. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Excellent thought out of the box, fruits are to be eaten, aren't they? It was the beginning of a supreme but new species on earth, the fruit gives seeds of birth. What a catastrophe for the other species! Thank you for sharing, Taslima. Palitha Ranatunge. Palitha Ranatunge.
The fruit was the one that kindled knowledge and realisation

Poetry is not so easy a thing. It is not only violating the tradition. It is an art based on truth and beauty. Your poem exposes your stupidity, your ignorance and poverty.
