THE FALL OF MAN
God is very upset, Eve and Adam have broken the one and only rule in paradise, they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Now they know that there is something else out there, an exciting world full of adventure. What they don´t know is, that pain and misery also await them in the world of human beings.
The Expulsion from Paradise
The world out there is dangerous and cruel,
but this is where you’ll live from now on.
You broke the law, you mocked the rule,
the trust in you is dead and gone.
Take your companion, he´s vain and proud,
and take that deceiving serpent too.
The gates soon will close, yes I throw you out,
there’s nothing more I’ll do for you.
From now on you must provide for yourself,
and stand on your own two feet.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread,
you’ll work to live, and fight to eat.
Beware of gluttony and lust and wrath,
and don't be jealous, lazy or proud,
these sins are great seducers, they will haunt your path,
but with your free will, you are well endowed ....
So if you learn to speak the truth and live your life with grace,
this surely will not be in vain .....
Yes, good behaviour leads you to a better place,
perhaps one day - I will speak to you again.
(one day he may talk to you again)
I´m sorry, but I told you Eve ....
if you don´t obey me, you must leave !
