I)Eve
Eve became
Foolishly bold
To give up
Her faith in God.
Exhibiting lust
For a tantalizing apple
She opted to be
A dust.
Heeding a snake
Incarnated
Devil's word
"If you eat
The forbidden fruit
You will acquire
Wisdom on par with God."
Duped by Satan
Unfaithful, disobedient
She turned a reason
For the lapse of man.
For lacking faith
She heard,
With jealousy
Her son Kane
Stoned Her son Abel
To death!
"Eve tarnished
The image
Of the womenfolk! "
We usually hear
In a religious talk!
II)Saint Mary
From Birth to death
Unwavering was
In God
Saint Mary's faith.
In her youth,
Blind to earthly
Allurements,
When summoned
To serve God
Happy she drew forth
"Displaying alacrity
To the call of
The Almighty
Is my pleasure
My duty! "
Saint Mary knew
Miracles untold
Is capable to do God.
Acid tested like
Aglow set gold
Threatened by
Herod's sword
Scorned by hypocrites
Hoary headed Christ killers
Her faith she never
Failed to tightly hold.
In Golgotha
The whiplashes all
Were scars on her soul!
Unlike many of us
It is not like a fiction
Or movie script
She witnessed Christ's crucifixion.
She
Man and God
Till to date
And down the road
The miracle will be told.
She allowed a pride
Womenfolk could ride.
In the catalogue of grace
As she won a higher place
In God's face
Above angels and
Below God
Is the row
She was
Allowed to hold.
III)Devil
Duping eve
The control on man
Devil got
Thanks to
Saint Mary ‘s obedience,
Before he realized
The mystery of incarnation,
He lost.
For Via
God- Saint Mary's
Chemistry mankind
Is snatched from
Devil's grip and fold.
To retaliate
To belittle
Saint Mary
Still a python
A snake,
A sanctimonious preacher,
A faithful
That has gone astray
Devil tries to date.
In various religious forms
He seeks a vent
To disgorge
His hate.
Oblivious to
The Virgins word
"Generations will
Call me
The graceful, the immaculate…"
IV)God
Via Saint Mary
Once more
The Almighty God
Drew close
Mankind to his fold!
"For use and throw
God use Saints! "
Is the worst mistake
Believerscould make
Eating the poisonous cake
Devil in various
Religious forms bake.///
