eden

It is from dust and enmity in which we came

this curse to toil the ground in search for knowledge

will live until the day we die.

forbearing we sail this dust and i,

the creeping things eating it on legless writhing

and consume the earth on which it crawls.

Between rivers walked amidst the afternoon sun,

the garden now behind and the uncertainty 

and curses bestowed following generations.

the garden now behind and the uncertainty
and curses bestowed following generations.

Great write, but intrigue, the poet trying to explain as our origin is from dust and also we carry the curse from generations to generations originated in garden of eden, that human will crawl on the surface of earth similar to snakes with pain and suffering, even if the garden of eden is a story long time back, the generations carry the sequel of the curse and the uncertainty about which form the curse will be manifesting in our lives when we travel the life river, enjoyed, poet proved poet can pen on any topic, some jealousy sprouting in my mind without my consent
