There's a secret only one angel knew.
It goes like this:
There is a place that once grew.
A garden made for two.
A tree.
A treason.
Mankind evicted from Eden,
... for an obscure reason.
Curious,
An angel flew down
-biting into the apple-
Adam and Eve had eaten.
Because the Lord's plan must be broken?
The Angel pressed their luck...
But ...why plant a tree,simply,to test their trust?
Now in a rush to reveal what was learned
-before they could soar past those
pearly gates-
Lurid illumination eviscerates their pristine wings.
The Lord sees All:
and He is Irate.
They create a crater as they collide with our world;
exiled forever from the Lord's estate.
They awake as a woman for their costly mistake.
Her place amongst the holy host is gone.
Cursed with forbidden knowledge.
Awareness of right and wrong.
Exchanging a halo for free-will:
Heaven is no longer a place she belongs.
The Angel outcast.
Cast out from her home.
Forced to roam this world all alone.
She sought out the Truth;
Then her faith became clouded.
There is few who listen to what she says now:
yet still she shouts it.
She tells me-the former angel yells,
"Devour fruit from the Tree of Knowledge
...if you dare.
but beware!!
God did not plant that tree...
It was already there."
