The Banishment from the Garden

The Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man,
c.1610-12, by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Hendrick de Clerck STAATSGALERIE NEUBURG AN DER DONAU, BAYERISCHE STAATSGEMALDESAMMLUNGEN

 

The Lord looked down and saw man
The man who could not see
That he was naked as when born
And that neither was she.

And after eating the apple,
They saw, and to thier shame
They hid from view as humns do
And gave as "Private Parts" their genitals name.

And God looked down in anger
For disobeying he did shout
Admonished and banished forever...
To the four winds cast them out...

"The truth from the Bible" - a questionable statement.
The poem would probably be better without rhyme.

Hello Tomas ~ this poem is excellent, very profound. You based this write on the truth from the Bible, which is so good to read. Adam and Eve story in a Garden of Eden well written. The picture makes your poem complete.

Great write!
