The Day Problems Began Poem by Germina Melius

Problems began when Eve gave Adam some of the wise fruit in Eden.
Who was she to give him fruit, when she had never planted a damn tree?
The wise fruit opened their eyes.
The man and woman saw their nakedness.
There was a great hunger, and they covered themselves, hiding Eden's jewels.
Lust was a monster, daring them to wander in the garden of flesh and bones.
They were thinking thoughts, only The Creator knew,
and the devil found it gravely humorous.
God's omnipresent eyes saw the man and his wife dashing towards the ‘Tree of Life', for a taste of its fruit would give immortality, Death smiled at their gullibility.
The man and his wife were exiled from Eden to wander and work in a world, they barely knew.
