THE TRIAL OF THE EDEN GARDEN : EVE’S TESTIMONY

‘hope that apple was worth it, eve’
Isn’t that what we all say?
But is it fair that the blame we give,
Is for eve alone, and not the snake?



Yes, I know, she could’ve resisted the honey-venom
And that would’ve been for all its worth.
But Jesus said to hate the sin not the sinner,
Or maybe, they were all just words?



We say how it was her GREED,
The reason that day satan won.
But in the seven deadly sins of hell,
I don’t remember curiousity also being one.



Pride? That couldn’t have been the cause.
Or why would she listen to a snake?
Greed? I don’t believe she planned to hoard.
It was in her nature to give away.
Lust? Oh lord, that’s not even a thought.
It was an apple not a man.
Envy? Of whom, pray tell, and when?
There was only her and Adam on that land.
Gluttony? Please — it was just a single bite;
She didn’t eat the tree to its roots.
Wrath? Maybe, but did she even have the might?
I don’t recall HER being the one who scorched the fruits.
Sloth? Hardly — quite the opposite, in fact;
After all, she’s on trial for acting far too fast.



Seven sins, and seven lies,
Yet she bears them all the same.
Perhaps the real sin wasn’t defiance —
But daring to have a functioning brain.



So now she tells you all to ask,
How is SHE the original sin?
Is eating an apple really such a TERRIBLE deed?
Or maybe, it’s about time we stop to THINK.
