Adam And Eve Poem by Gary Diamond

They were idiots, if it's even true they existed.
They looked that Eden gift horse in the mouth, didn't they.
Whether that story is true or not
Whether God gave them everything, with one condition
It seems just as well to have set up a pattern.

Rules were made to be broken
The more rules the more there is to break.
God bless freedom, the freedom to live in a society
That uses the rulebook as a ball and chain.
There's the paradox for you.

You know, I never did much care for love thy neighbour.
I think cramming junk like that into people does them more damage
Than drinking to excess and throwing the fists around.
Therein lies the difference between being a sucker
And being a sucker but fore-warned.

When you say 'at least' about anything
It's usually the first step of justification
The first step in being completely worn down.
When there is nothing but rigour and boredom
Human nature seeks out the fun instead.
