Some very small things can bring down a man, or a whole society. One little germ
can wipe out a whole population, with no known explanation.
Everything was going well
God could tell
but he knew man was
doomed to fail
Lurking in the shadows
was the angel of hell
First man dwelled in the garden
with not a single worry
There was plenty other fruit
including sweet cherry
Eve enticed Adam to
bite one apple
never knew it would end up
juice in todays snapple
or that eating it would
forever cause man to suffer
One red sweet delicious
apple offer
from the tree of knowledge
Thousands of years man
suffers with woman together
all because of one feather
Adam never got a chance
to eat the whole tree
After he enjoyed one apple
he thought was free

Hey, don't blame it all on us...LOL!!! Temptation is only a state of mind; it was Adam who was weak. Just because there is a fresh chocolate cake sitting on the counter doesn't mean I have to eat it...OH, uhmm...gotta go. Aaaa chocolate cake is calling me, I mean, someone's at the door..yeah that's it! LOL. Very good write.
Take care,

"Some very small things can bring down a man, or a whole society." True, and these days -- still-- mankind is dis-obedient to God's instructions! Good poem, Gem!
