Dear, I had a strange dream last night,
Adam and eve were in bliss in Eden,
Innocence all around was scattered,
In Nature shelter and trees fruit laden.
In perfect innocence they bathed,
Faith and trust its soothing shade;
Between them there was no secret,
Here love and joy could never fade.
Mutually nothing would they hide,
In all bareness they would confide.
Personal egos could never collide,
They plumed each other with pride.
From UFO, Satan alighted,
Out of fear he felt slighted.
He had a mischievous mind,
He had his own axe to grind.
From God a little wisdom snatched,
A little more he himself stretched.
His scientific temper machines made,
Textile & cosmetic mills he had laid.
He had set up his mills in Hell,
Eden he came his goods to sell.
He knew of Adam’s firm will,
He knew how Eve could thrill.
He approached Eve in Adam’s absence,
Saw Tree of Knowledge to her suspense.
Thus, in her he sowed seeds of distrust,
Deep rooted greed, lust and disgust.
Eve hided in ever new clothes,
Satan was happy in his loathe.
Everyday Eve made up new face,
On Satan’s face grin I could trace.
From the state of nature and to the consciousness of man, the story of creation told differently.good read.
More than a touch of fantasy in this one. A very thought provoking write. Warm regards, Sandra
I very much enjoyed reading this updated version of the fall of man. Great write, my friend. Best wishes Richard
A new version on an old tale my friend Man constanty seeks to place the blame on someone else I am puzzled If God is omnipotent there can be no satan other than man exercising his godgiven free will.
A great write. Very well penned a somewhat difficult subject A wonderful read.
Inventive write, C.P...I like the subliminal parallel you draw...one that that unfortunately is in keeping with the world of today....Innocence is bliss, they say(whoever THEY are) , but bliss, can also be the serpent in his masque of mortal macabre....feasting on us as for fodder for his perditious dominion....Very Nice Work, indeed!

Innocence got covered, innocence is lost. I loved the way you created this story of the tempting and downfall of many of us. It happens all the time.
