The Fall Of Man
by Nellie Shani Didn't know hanging around that tree Would change history God's instructions crystal clear To disobey a consequence to bear I turned and saw him near the tree Didn't know I had company I knew he was crafty as could be But what he came to do I wanted to see If it was to tempt me I had known Far from him I would have gone To turn and walk away Eternally would have kept sin at bay Did He forbid this delicious fruit How can such a selfish God be good Eat it you will surely not die With much persuasion to me did he lie A look at the fruit did I take Then teeth marks on it did I make For it was pleasing to the eye That I would die suddenly seemed like a lie A bite too Adam did take Probably doing it for my sake Disobedient sinners did us make Bringing death to the human race Hearing God we did hide For by His law we did not abide With much fear our hearts were filled Waiting for us God to kill Feeling naked fig leaves did we sew That He would clothe us we did not know Someone else each of us did blame But on both of us the sin was the same Thousands of years later For our sins God did cater Like the animal he killed to clothe us His own Son died to save us Nellie Odhuno Shani is a Counselor, Conference speaker and writer.
