Banished
From the earth was fashioned,
From the likeness of God, the man;
And the breath of life,
Breathed into him.
From Adam's rib,
Was fashioned,
A helpmate called the woman;
And the breath of life,
Breathed into her.
The garden, their paradise given
There to live in,
To have of fruit with exception.
But the two they fell,
Into a trap laid well,
By the wiley wiley deceiver;
Clever clever he;
Approached the woman,
Knowing she, was held high
In esteem by her man;
With skillful debate
Was she baited, she ate;
Then she to the man to sate
Tasted of the fruit forbidden,
From their eyes, veiled
Innocence slipped;
Exposing to them at the hip,
Their loins in full nakedness,
Which they taught to cover
With leaves.
From the Lord God ever,
There is no hiding;
He knew of their deeds.
His compassion meted them,
Garments made of skins;
His wrath, banishment
With statuses new defined;
So then the woman,
By Adam, was named Eve;
Fitting her function given
By The Lord God; child bearer.
Banished then, and sent ,
Out from their garden home;
They went;
Wanderers for a new home.
Then Adam slept with his wife
Eve; child bearer.
