Well, would you Adam and Eve it?
The day that sin was born has been betold
in tales which each religion claims its own.
The disobedience of the cuckold,
his mate's suggestion, by a serpent sown?
But was the sin the action or the thought?
And who allowed 'Temptation' to exist?
Unacted on, these evils come to nought.
The virtual razor cannot cut the wrist.
What if the thoughts had never, ever been
unleashed upon these creatures, ill prepared?
Could all man's history have been so serene
had God looked at his angels and compared
the number who with Lucifer had sided?
To trust mere mortals seems a tad misguided? ; ¬)
