Adam

Adam, O Adam

Your reputation exceeds you

Your seed has spread across the Earth

Tell me what it is like to be a man

O infamous Adam

Your lust is seen in my sister's eyes

Your lack of accountability reflected in my brother

The top of the food chain

Brought to your knees by an object with no teeth

No claws

No bark, no roar

Just seeds to be planted in a greedy heart

Seeds to be watered

Seeds to take root

Adam, O Adam

Would you have written your story this way?

What do you see when you look at your sequels?

It's a bestseller, your story

Your name is immortalized

Though your body is dust

Adam, O Adam

You've reaped what you've sown

And all the Earth continues to reap what you've sown
