![]() The Sunday SermonA Poem by Elton Camp![]() Could the preacher be wrong?![]() The Sunday Sermon By Elton Camp The preacher told the sin of Adam and Eve And he was dead-set against it, I believe I saw the words, “To dust thou shalt return. But the reverend said they’ll actually burn But why wasn’t the warning made more clear That would happen if the fruit they came near?

A sense of fairness and justice that seems to lack As the congregation was singing the final song I was thinking, “Could the preacher be wrong?”
