POEM: ADAM and EVE

 

https://kennygeesilver.blogspot.com/2019/10/adam-and-eve.html#more

Have you ever wondered about life generally even before earth was birthed?

Have you ever questioned yourself why God allowed so much to be the way they are?

What about the story of Lucifer and the fallen angels? 

What about thoughts about Man's existence and rest of the world we know today?

All this questions will keep on and on but you won't get answers. Some say they are mysteries and can't be really explained or understood. Well just like few thinkers like me, this poem was inspired by this questions I desire answers to, but I'm disappointed at my quest. The thirst refuses to be satisfied and my hunger undying.

This POEM basically tries to paint a picture and the possible scenarios of what happened in the GARDEN OF EDEN where our 1st parent ADAM and EVE habited. A heaven on earth, a place of total comfort and peace... 

The 1st part of the POEM tries to explain who the real enemy is which is SIN... Here SIN is seen as a personality.

The 2nd part tries to explain the unsettled hidden thoughts/desires of Eve who yielded to the voice. Whose voice exactly?

The 3rd part is where Adam took the leftover from Eve and activated the world we know today. 

Well there's so much to say about this piece but I'll want you to give me your feedback and your thoughts about this.

Thanks... Don't forget to drop your COMMENTS, LIKE and SHARE.

 

ADAM AND EVE - THE POEM

I need not to conquer Satan,
Principalities and power in high places,
Demon, poverty and mischievous miseries
The only enemy to conquer/defeat is SIN.

It kills faster than the world's deadliest diseases
It cripples the mind,
Cages one from behind
It kills,
whatever the heart wills,
Steals your aim
And destroys the soul.

Alas behold his Relatives RULES and LAWS
How can we walk without the head moving

Or talk without moving the lips
He limits and restricts our movements like the caged bird
Breaking free haunts and freedom calls beckoning.
Ignoring this call displeases me
But I need a change
That auctions me to action
But then will this end well or not
How would I know if I don't give it a try.

Experience invites me on a date
The date I have so long, thirst
For a second my heart bumps into an hurdle
I haven't felt this way before
Is this a good sign or bad one
I stretched my hands to Experience
And I embraced destiny,
Matching rules and laws on her jaws

Through an encounter, sharply my eyes flashed brightly as though a torch
I couldn't imagine what my world was like until now.
You want to know? Curiosity nodded
I passed on my experience and we saw the same.

Conscience judged me and shame sets in.
Oh mine! What have I done?
