The Eve of Truth

 

Is this the thing?
like Eve
put to the test
reached for an apple
but it was
a hornets nest

 

so much does pointless knowledge bring
a million years of endless stings and suffering

 

today, a thousand new age false messiahs
where history is written by the liars
woman – demonised, despised
her version of events is not required

the word of man, a heinous libel
in his neverending bible

 

we only have his word for it, at best
when maybe she was happy
with the perfect kiss
and sighing on the bliss
of Adam’s chest
