Two kids in the Garden. Lovely but trouble coming.
The Girl listened to him.
Smooth and subtle.
Serpentine. Slithery.
His sales pitch, a humdinger.
I saw it all
Beside her.
You Guys can be gods
Yourselves.
Don't suck up to Elohim.
Be his puppets, no way.
You should have seen
Her puffed out chest, rooster-like.
Nice chest.
Nice handfuls.
I fell in line…grinning.
Weeks pass and
Declension has set in big time.
Like some mortgage.
In arrears, a burden
Beyond possibility of discharge.
Or is it, friend?
Hard labour, screaming childbirth
Disease, discord, death.
Dishonesty. Downfall.
Redeeming that mortgage?
Yeah maybe, just maybe.
Wait and see.
Time will tell.
And stop this adoration of self.
Capice?
