The Genesis of Sin
God spoke and the earth, air and
water formed
God spoke again and mammals, birds
and fish spawned
God took dust and his spit to make dough
Out came man his nostril breath God
did blow
God willed that harmony abide
But the evil one did Eve chide
Did God really say you must not eat
of any tree?
Eve asserted not any but just the one
in middle you see
Oh, said the cunning servant why
might that be
To which Eve said knowing not what it
means: that we will die
No, no said the serpent, that you
will not
Instead you will be like God knowing
truth and lie
Now the fruit on the tree became more
than what it seemed
Its beauty, it's
fragrance, it's lustre gleamed
Eve could no more
resist and out she reached
Took a luscious bite and gave to Adam
too and God's covenant they breached
Their pure being they sullied
Becoming aware of their nakedness
they hurried
He called to them but
sensed that something was aboard
The serpent had tricked and Adam and
Eve were gored
With sin that God so abhorred
Hid they behind bushes fearful
of Him they so loved
In shame they stitched
leaves that God disposed
Bloodied skin he imposed
To cover their nakedness, life of
labor and pain was enforced
In Jesus we are redeemed
By blood much esteemed
That obedience to God and His Word is
where the Kingdom lies
Being free of sin and to commune with God at Eden where He strides
Being obedient children to a Heavenly
Father and his pride.
