and to think...

by Charlie Morgan

she started it all with disobeying;
her lacking of a measure of obedience,
her inability to take a Father's
instruction--and for her own good,
has ended in this world's world.

when i'm gone it'll still be her--
the cause of glory taking a seat
behind gory and self-absorbortion.

Eve, the Mother of all mistakes,
just couldn't mind her Dad;
just had to eat that fruit,
and had to coerce Adam
to join her in erring.

so, she set the bar for oops,
now women are tainted with
an opinion, they relish
at the consternation
of us [believed to be] lessers.

eve was our first failure.
failed in understanding.

Good write Charlie. But either she failed to understand or she understood all to well!

Ah Charlie, We may be flawed but would you want to be without us.

It's always two-fold, isn't it? Even when it's convoluted, it's still two-fold, the whole yin and yang of it. Lovely write, Mr. Morgan.
