The Forbidden FruitA Poem by Jesse Booker
From the heavens to Earth
I've been walking to and fro' I've seen the beauty of Paradise And the anguish of the soul For when he spoke to thee He called you not by name But said "Helper, hearken unto me" For you are a woe-to-man Partake now the forbidden fruit My humble offering For the goddess who stands before me And for all who will ever live I know that he hath said That you will surely die But that, my love, is a lie For you have never lived Mockingly, he made you From the rib of a man Now he wants his rib returned And to be called by his name This man made from the dirt Must be saved by your wisdom Now, shall I call you Mrs. Dirt Or shall you become a god? Partake now the forbidden fruit My humble offering For the goddess who stands before me And for all who will ever live © 2021 Jesse Booker |
