As Adam and Mate the apple they ate
As Adam and Mate the apple they ate
and choked, and dying became their fate.
Their minds were tainted.
Openness and lack of shame
turned to secrecy, shift of blame
accusations, truth painted.
And so today we can’t think straight.
Confused, puffed up, we learn to hate
the gifts which we should treasure.
So beautiful bodies, a great self worth
are sold out to sex and a dearth
of perversities all in the name of leisure.
Afraid to give we crave for more.
Afraid to worship, we adore
false images of God.
Like self and famous, pet and vices
Hobbies, sport, electric devices
Car, computer, i-pod.
Guilt free, joy and self secure
Given up for guilt and insecure
A poor exchange indeed!
Yet we don’t heed our altered state.
Afraid to love, we love to hate
Not knowing it’s You we need.
Happy to fear the exchange they made
in Eden on the day they traded
bliss for knowledge, caress for a fist.
And so we chase our empty dreams of happiness
and opening boxes full of pretty nothingness
We die, ill content, spent, on chasing a mist.
