Original Sin Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Dark roots sprung up in Eden,
Alongside the beauty of love.
It gripped the hearts of men
And defied the God above.

Sin came into existence,
Clouding what was once light.
Adam and Eve's disobedience
Swayed their eyes, they lost sight.

Sin's fruit was found in Cain,
When brother turned against brother.
When family ties were all in vain
And his own blood cried out "Murder! "

Today that original sin thrives well,
With hearts of men consumed by hate.
Brother kills brother and we can tell-
We must fight hate before it's too late.
