Never Taste of The Fruit

-Never Taste of The Fruit-
by

The serpent
The snake
All of human fate
Wicked this way
Twisted some might say
Doing what he could
Changing the plan
Temptation is only a game
Masterfully did he play
Adam and Eve
Fools of creation
God's hopeless gestation
He warned them
And then he did nothing
As such a warning was ignored
Who was really at fault
Who should have been blamed
Who should have been thrown out
Of Eden's safe embrace
Into forever's wilderness
Deeply mired by change
Good and bad
Right and wrong
God and the Devil
Clarity eludes each
Eventually does indeed waste
The answers will come
Long after
Any question is asked
No one will remain
To thoroughly understand
Such a polarizing relationship
The serpent
The snake
All of human fate
Once rested in the hands
Of two people inexperienced
And emboldenedly I say
That it, fate still does
Never taste of the fruit
If the opportune
Presents itself
At your leisure
Just stand there
Declaring kind serpent
That my gut is overstuffed
Adam and Ever were fools
The first of so many
Every other to be exact
Don't let their mistakes
Become all of ours
Give us a chance to sin
A chance to truly decide
What a glorious decision
That would be
Live in peace
Or eat the forbidden fruit
I am quite sure
That you would see
That so many have long since
Lost their appetites
Never taste of the fruit
It's not poisoned
It won't make you sick
It will only change the plan
A heavenly ordained series
Of catastrophic events
All meant to teach us something
What exactly
Goes back to the Garden of Eden
And God's hand at creationism
Not only ours, but in all honesty
His...
