 Eat of the dying apple
So the worms may taste your greed
It is for you I offer my existence
It is for you my wrists now bleed
You are lovely amongst the wilted garden
The black roses they’ve thrown at your feet
From my rib you have been created
From my love you’ve learned deceit
An evil in an angel’s halo
By it I hang from the tree of woe
Wishing to desecrate your body
Wishing to plenish my soul
You shall birth the next generation
Nurture a future on a maternal breast
Were you meant for pleasure
Was I the one whose been blessed
Given the name of darkness
Her crown lies in a throne on his right hand
Slithers her way into our hearts
She is Eve… the downfall of man |

I love the writing in this one...But, as a feminist I'm so against the X'tianized version of how woman was created and that she is of course, the downfall factor...LOL...Excellent versificationing, as always, though...Thanks for sharing, Messiah. Nir.

Outstanding beautiful poem...
We are all equal in the eyes of God
or so the saying goes...
Patriarchal society somehow
got it wrong... but it is a
creation myth retold and
passed down through the
ages to keep us all
dutifully subservient
to the powers that be
all those in authority
yet male and female
strong or flexible
black or white
day or night
light of the moon
or that of the sun
the sky turns the seasons
and we are divorced
from the reasons
this is so
at harmony we are one
not one is more than another
where balance is secure
