Adam and Eve:A retelling of the Myth


Please don't mind I don't mean any disrespect.  I wrote this in high school 11th or  12th standard when the mind is a razor sharp doubting Thomas! :)

Adam told Eve
Then
Eve told Adam...
We don't know
Who it was
Who begun  
The conversation.

They  say
It was innocent Adam
Who said
"I beg your pardon,
Madam,
But-
Should we?
(Eat  That Apple?)

Eve
Brave and evil
(Spurred by the Devil)
Replied
"God lied"
" He just doesn't want us to become wise."

So Adam, frail man
Ate of  the fruit
Let woman of  his rib
Lead him by the nose,
(What a mindless brute)..
And
Created in God's image
to boot! ( ;) )

But
Here's the End
When  God drove them out of paradise
He created something else
The myth of the fatal  woman-
And
Man so naive? ;)

But
We can never  know who begun
that conversation
That changed all our unborn lives.

Perhaps
It was Eve who said...
(Poetic license please)
"Adam  isnt that a mad   thing to do?-
To eat a fruit SIMPLY because
He told us NOT to?"

P.S:  Here women debunk the femme fatale theory and all you men are equally welcome to  debunk the myth of  male ego  and plain obstinacy  to  take orders from anyone! ;)
Chuse thy Reality!
