There was a time
when the world flourished with beauty, peace and happiness.
The leaves were green
and the environment clean.
the rivers were flowing with water
and the land was golden.
two people live in eden
the Lord's garden
in the east.
a land of beauty and happiness.
but one day things began to change.
leaves began to wither
and rivers drying up.
wars and chaos entered
pure happiness and peace were lost
hunger and misery entered
the world became diseased
and death found it's way among men.
All the beauties and glories of eden
and the then world
began to fade
until all beauty was lost
and the world became corrupt.
Things ought not be so
something went wrong along the way.
when our first parents,
in the glories and beauties of eden
amidst the enjoyment of peace and divine happiness,
in the abundance of food
failed to tame their appetite
and ate that which was forbidden
of the fruit in the middle of the garden,
AND SO EDEN WAS LOST
