In the Garden of Eden an ominous silence spread
From the Heavenly Paradise all grace had fled
Adam knew there was no recompense for his act
Against his crime, God would violently react
Sorry that the pact once solemnly made did wilt
In shame and regret the first lovely pair sat
They moved away from God's wonted path
And hid under bushes fearing His wrath

God as usual came for His evening round
But Adam and Eve were nowhere around
The omniscient knew what had happened,
Over the gross disobedience He was deeply saddened

God called out- 'Adam… Adam
From your hide out, come…come
When everything else, I had given you free
Tell me what made you eat from the forbidden tree'

Adam said- Me Lord, I acted under Eve's persuasion
For the forbidden fruit, I had no inclination

Next God questioned Eve
Who acted so very naïve
She said she was treacherously tempted by Satan
Who came disguised more like a dragon
All wisdom and knowledge was assured
And with false promises, she was lured

For breaking the pact, heavy was the price incurred
God withdrew all the blessings conferred
From the bliss of Paradise, they were sacked
To live in a world with all misery wracked!

Since then, the blaming game is conveniently played
And the onus of our actions on others shoulders laid
As from Adam to Eve and from Eve to Satan
Cleverly passed over our accountability's baton!
