In the Garden

Good and evil
The two of them
Eve and Adam
Original sin.
Who lured whom
To taste the fruit?
And does it matter?
The point is moot.
Nodding heads,
Blame assessed,
Pointed fingers,
Get ye dressed!
While they both tasted
Eve bore the blame,
Adam too weak
To fight her chains.
Away the snake slunk
Victorious and smug
His job of sullying
Woman’s place was done.
