GENESIS

A flower called the rose
Muti-petaled growing alone

Eve called it ~~ oh her own
She plucked the flower deepest red
She placed it on Adams body scarred
From whence the rib twas skin marred
Adam slept on while tear after tear fell
For Eve cried knowing of his sacrifice
Now she had sinned they would suffer twice
Before the rose so beautiful and red
She plucked from the tree that God had said “Ye shall not eat of it….lest ye die”
Serpent told Eve “Tis but a lie”
She plucked and took a bite
To Adam she said ‘taste tis good and ripe’
As the serpent slipped amongst the trees
A murmur from the path they did hear
A sorrowful echoing haunting sound
For God was weeping diamond drop tears
He cursed the serpent to the dust
Covered mankind toe to bust
Declared labour to a childs birth
Bringing thorns and thistles to earth
He cried out to them in pain
His tears washing like a rain
Driving them from Paradise
To till the ground from which he was taken.

Beautiful. It's not often I see something done on Adam and Eve, but I think this is one of the better ones that I've seen. Great work!
