Like a bedouin in the garden of Eden,
roaming around with Eve and
breeding.

And sin waltzed on in.
'hey
take some of this'

Paddy tells me that the
kiss of a sinner's the same as that of the saint
'cepting one's very good and t'other one
ain't.

To be sure the pure took a dive
kicked out of paradise, but
they learnt to survive on
the streets of anger where hunger
was the snake in the grass.

Abel and Cain and paddy says,
'two peas from the same pod
'cepting one was a good guy and
t'other made god sigh'
aye, a
biblical time
dinner at eight
apples at nine
homeless at twenty in a world full
of plenty.

Thanks for the rations, the
fig leaf and fashions
the snake in the grass and
I pass on the rest.

These are the test of times,
the beginning of days and of
Eve and
her ways.

The bible unread
the sea of the dead
the holy land and
Netflix.
