Two Extremes of Humanity..



Written for 'The Gooseberry Garden' with the theme...
Adam and Eve...


Two Extremes of Humanity.. 


Adam and Eve
Came back to have a look
At the world
And an amazed Eve exclaimed,
“ Adam, all this chaos
Six billion and counting;
Just because serpent
Tempted us  and we
Ate the forbidden fruit
My God, tell me,
why could we not foresee?”
And that’s the crux
Incapable of seeing the
Future; man has kept on
Eating forbidden fruits
Of many a kind...
Giving birth to great spectacles
Of  Evil; but then good
Too has had its share
Well, the world shall continue
With Light and dark
Taking their turns...
Pray, to stay bathed in light


****

Haiku a must for me, well it's here..


Had Adam and Eve,
Left the apple there, we won’t
Have this theme today...

    Lol, indeed, would we have had this topic at Poetry Picnic, but for them? :)

    Many a forbidden fruit does man eat not knowing about the future. I liked what that conveyed.

    I really like what you did with the theme in your poem - tying it together with the modern world and the repercussions of the act was a great idea.
