The Story of Adam
An epitaph for humanity.
He took a biteAnd got a fright.
Forgot it all
In sex that night.
A new day dawned,
A race was spawned.
It multiplied,
But heaven mourned.
The flags unfurled.
The battle swirled,
And fitfully
Destroyed the world.
Our way we wend
Till paths contend.
In that first slip
Was writ our end.
