Of all the madness ever known that blighted humankind,
This tragedy must stand alone, of all that come to mind,
For Eve told Adam Satan’s lies… such that they both believed,
In hope that each would then be wise.. and yet each was deceived…
God gave them life, yet they chose death… their blessings were reversed
And from that moment they drew breath, both knew that they were cursed!

And even now, the Earth is, too, while it spins round and round…
God’s curse hurt me until I knew I could be Heaven-bound…
The Easter Story showed the ways Mankind could play the fool…
Yet God gave me amazing grace, while still a child at School…
I’m now a man, I’m born again, like billions God has blessed,
Yet can’t forget the madness when Mankind refused God’s best…
