This Garden is No Eden



If there are morals to the story
of Creation and the Garden
they may be that God failed to see
how powerful was curiosity
 he'd added accidentally 

If God had really loved them
he'd made like him as his companions
why the need to test obedience
with a trap baited with wisdom?
(So much for his omniscience!)

 When God saw they'd disobeyed him
He cursed, "Get out of this Garden"
but they'd soon gained the wisdom
to leave slavery for their freedom
yelled "Go to Hell. We're leaving!"

Epochs later when their issue
were creating their Religions
they taught their disciples
 ancestors' had made a bad decision.
Evil Eve'seduced Adam from innocence

Jump forward three thousand years
in which both good Jews and Christians
 deeply rooted in women's oppression
so much the world still belongs to men
if not for Eve, would live in Heaven
