From Hymn The Heresies Poem by Adeosun Olamide

From Hymn The Heresies



Three beings coursing the universe
Upon age- date lived not
One ‘cross a forlorn lab came-
Left there by a ruined world
A world that birth them all
In forlorn lab came- acumen lived
Dwelling there in soul a weary tree-
The wanderer who about came-
Saw there- two trees, the other with soul -endless
But saw only this wanderer-
Both with fruits, berries- that lured throat
Art by hunger, ate fruit the two trees
But the two trees tis unknown-
That one endless gave and other knowledge spit-
This, to being who chew it-
Art by mystic- the wanderer being knew new
And sat here possessed by knowledge all
There ‘cross earth, the other two strolled’ still
-Searching for who they thought lost,
Whom was companion theirs- recently altered
But that ate of two trees- discern there roll
And by forlorn lab, trees wherein- set ablaze
Saw this- the searchers a smoke that swiftly lured
And here met the lost one- with ashes lab
Possessed by knowledge- venom the trees
Shared fruit ate with companions who avid were
Giving unto each -one tree of, one only
To one- gave fruit- tree knowledge of
And the other- fruit eternal life gave
Three being coursed earth thru
All three knew new hence-
That ate two fruit came god,
That ate of knowledge came man
And that ate fruit eternal life came angel
But to boredom- disease soon festered
That by cure two beings mated-
They being man and angel- yet ignorant this
Here acumen art the god to bore fury
For knew what this act could end-
Thus enslaved them both ever
So error this might spur not one more-
Caged so their essence in body and air singly
But their mating wasn’t fruitless-
For they bore devil- a like god
Who by inheritance -resemblance bore
For this creature- inherited knowledge from man
And from angel there endless life got
Here, art still by fear- a reign to end-
The god ever did sought this devil to slay
But offspring them was god like-
That saw there- plot and flee here
Yet enthused god more to crush it
This who grew and since- became gods’ anxiety,
-Dwell still this creature- a lodger of dark
And to- whom we owe and must justice aid
