Eden Paradise Lost At What Cost

Man argue, Did Eve eat an apple or piece of fruit

This point is so insignificant minuscule minuet

The bigger picture’s concept is what’s resolute

Enticing Eve Was it a Serpent or an Evil Man?

I question Who put the Apple in Eve’s hand

 

In the beginning their were three

Adam Eve and Abel, their firstborn son

Before the first ****** committed done

A mother‘s worries grief for her two sons begu

Cain killed Abel neither brother won

 

People remark today society is so bad

Evil growing people knowing , tragic and sad

Evil born from the beginning of time

From the very first violant crime

The seed planted for eternity in man’s mind

 

Satan‘s wish to expedite granted his rein on earth

God gave Satan a wide birth

rebellion upheaval in heaven angels sided

Satan convinced angels Uncertainty, collided

An Army of minions created for Satan delighted

 

In the end ultimate cost Eden Paradise Lost

The path to Eden Shangri-La closed

Consequences of actions chose

Satan to The face of God opposed

No more milk and honey tranquility, they know

 

Adam, learned how by the sweat of his brow

He shall toil the soil life difficult extremely hard

His relationship with God distant marred

Eve will experience increased pain in childbirth

they learned their choices can make life worse

 

The first encounter of Satan’s manipulation

Changed the purpose of the whole creation

God let man decide free will good vs evil

Satan’s evil seed grows greater upheaval

People could determine their fate retrieval

A chance to regain God’s Grace reprieveal

 

The wrath of God cuts deep

God‘s word in our hearts we shall keep

The greatest accomplishment Satan has achieved

Convincing man, believe he does not exist

Creating doubt, man deceived ignorant bliss.

 

Inspired songs

 

1) where have all the flowers gone

(anti war song)1955 By Pete Seeger

This song is why all the Flowers children used to be at the airport waiting for the soldiers to return and handing out flowers, holding peace, signs, and love ❤️

 

(2) The age of Aquarius/ let the Sunshine in 1969

By the fifth dimension

originally written for the 1967 Broadway musical hair, The 5th Dimension Melody spent six weeks at number one on the billboard hot 100 won a 1970 Grammy award for record of the year

 

A shift in society Significant meaning

Celebration the astrological belief that humanity was transcending into a new era of love and peace, and enlightenment, serving as a rally call cry for the 1960s hippie and anti-war movement (flower child)

 

3) hot child in the city By Nick Gilder 1977

A tribute to the runaway children younger and younger we see ********** to survive the street

This is where our society is today. To sell exploit **** children, and turn their heads away

Our society is so far removed from compassion

And caring We are the ultimate paradise lost our children are the cost

 

Footnotes

 

My poem was created on its own. The decision to use. Milton‘s title was unconscious, but fitting

Research led me to revisit Milton’s original work and significance. Milton’s most famous quotes again used for significance chosen after the fact.

 

Milton‘s Paradise Lost book one 1674 version (satan‘s defeat declaration famous quote

” better to rain in hell, than to serve in heaven”

 

Other worthy quotes

” the mind is its own place, and in itself\can make a heaven or hell,, a hell of heaven”

 

“awake arise, or be forever fallen,( Satan‘s rally and cry to the fallen angels( book 1)

BLT Webster’s Word of the day challenge May 23, 2026 expedite- to expedite something is to cause it to happen faster

 

The book of Genesis seems to have so much controversy in it, and the fact that it was so long ago people try to dismiss the entire book. It’s best to start at the beginning to get to the heart of the matter.
