“Don’t eat from that tree”, God said
Don’t eat or you’ll die-
But the fruit looked so good
It was so ripe
Red, plump, desirable
The fruit looked so good
Walk away…walk away
he saw me
he sought me out
slithering and hissing
he spoke to me
deceit dripping from his lips
“God didn’t say that…”
God doesn’t want you to be like him
Eat and enjoy
Why would God keep you from something that makes you happy?
Why would He say no to something good?
Why?
That’s not the person you know
So eat and be merry
With a weak heart and a hungry stomach
I became enticed
enticed for the forbidden
for that pleasure
forbidden pleasure
Don’t touch that
Or you’ll die
I could hear my conscience
speaking to me….
DON’T TOUCH THAT!!!!
but…I couldn’t resist
I took
I ate
I gave it to my husband
He ate
We realized that we were naked
The serpent smiled
All hell broke loose
