A Revolution In The Garden

A Revolution In The Garden

A Poem by Sumit Ganguly

Thunder, lightning and rain ceased.

They peeped out of a cave.

Bright sunlight flooded the earth,

air was cool and birds chirped.

 

As they came out a voice echoed in air,

‘O, my reflected souls, 

I've infused the nature in you

contain the flame of want and live blissfully.'

 

They were made of simplicity, love and trust.                                                                          

So long they had no want.

There were plenty of fruits in the Garden,

a river quenched their thirst

birds and butterflies gave them company.

They lived here with toil, love and compassion.

                         

Winter came- everything turned white.

With white hunger they searched for food               

their need, reasoning and will,

gave birth to Satan,

who came forward and said,

'The Garden of Eden is for all.'

He took them to the other part of the Garden

where eternal spring reigned,

offered them the God's fruit with a smile.

The Age of want and logic began.
