It started from the serpent
Who deceived Eve in Eden;
Breaking the Lord's commandment,
She ate the fruit forbidden.
Eve gave the enticing food
To Adam - to her husband;
What Adam did wasn't good,
He took it, using his hand.
The infected couple's hands
Since then had done transgression;
Going against God's commands,
Quickly making contagion.
God penalized the couple,
Inflicting them with problem;
Their mistake caused them trouble,
Until death did come to them.
Their firstborn and son named Cain
Did the very first murder;
Abel grimaced in great pain,
Dying before his brother.
Iniquity had just spread
In the city called Sodom;
Gomorrah was corrupted
By vice from top to bottom.
The complete wage of error
Is the lake of second death;
To feel the fire is horror,
So we need spiritual health.
Fortunately, there's a cure
To this contamination;
Christ's blood so precious and pure
Shall lead us to salvation.
The one true Church built by Christ
Is redeemed by the Lord's blood;
It shall wash away the lies,
Making us closer to God.
Enter into the body
Headed by the Lord Jesus;
Obey one God Almighty
To win over the virus.

Yes, evil always makes a contagion. Thanks dear poet, I learned something about the Philppino poem form Tanaga.
