Tragedy

Poem

Adam and eve once had everything
Paradise as their playground
Eden as their domain
Innocent And free

Oh to have what you will one day miss

What is tragedy

Adam and eve ate of the forbidden fruit. They were banished from beauty. Their domain ursurped
Their innocence stripped away
Damned to live on earth

Adam and eve were granted vastness
a land of Infinite doors
Each one willing them to open it
Each one promising salvation
And yet they were stricken with despair

What is tragedy.

Adam and eve wished only to open 1
The door of their past, their paradise
Guarded by an angel of fire
Espied what they had lost
Eden their true love, forever a memory

Adam and eve were exiled
They walked through a door from where they could not return
A door they could not understand
A door that spelled their tragedy

But what is tragedy

Beware
You shall walk through that same door

But ask
What paradise allows in Satan
