an apple having long ago been eaten

Utopian aspiration have survived~

with hopes that in Eden, we'll again arrive...

So, ideals & nudist camps have been formed~

by those still seeking to paradise swarm

Although, in truth not perfect had been Eden~

or any other garden we've since plant seed in...

No more free from temptation than here today~

in which is still craved the apple by betrayed

So, why the want to return where first failed~

cause another man to the cross be nailed...

Doesn't being born tainted by what we are~

make our faith in the one created by, a bit bizarre

And, still this is what's sought to end the confusion~

the same as remains this rhyme in conclusion...

Great poem! it flows quite nicely, and (at least in my opinion) illustrates a very good point.

Gratefully questions are necessary...People take offense if the wind blows the wrong way...

It takes a poet to point out such contradictions...

God job

AJ

PS The first 5 books of the bible are attributed to Moses.
As someone penned and edited Genesis many have questioned several points, contradictions with arguments lasting for generations the Hebrew 'pilpul' such as why "He created them male and female... ...and called their name man (=Adam)" on the sixth day; only to have Adam's life breathed into him and then cry out for "an helpmeet' and to sleep deeply so G*d could make Eve from one of his ribs after the 7th day of rest. From that contradiction sprouts the myth of Lilith, Adams first true wife etc. So many questions its any wonder why someone would kill to make righteous its 'purity'

Please question some more...

Indeed Kerry! This like so much of your work, is full of questions, full of grey....you wouldn't settle for just black and white. *smiles* Sis, the last stanza just friggen nails it to the cross. LOL I so do not understand how so many can be so lost in their one GOD. Eyes that stay forever closed in their own worlds. I like mine wide the hell open. Question Authority. Damn good statement, I've always thought.
Peace and hugs,
Laura
