Apples & Eve

Once he gorged on flesh

Fear infected his body

He blamed Eve’s Apple

.

Guilt overcame him

Reality became hell

Poisoned bodies reign

.

Liquor was offered

Gin, Port, Whisky, Wine, Champagne

It eased his conscience

.

Magic had left him

Heaven now but a lost dream

A prisoner now

.

The devil laughing

His hormones into chaos

Drowning his shamed soul

.

He cries now for God

Hell prescribes their best doctor

To make him forget

.

Each with PHDs

That buy his unconscious mind

The best pharma reps

.

Even the streets have

Their own kind of medicine

To ease his lost soul

.

Taking him higher

In the direction of down

A place to hide out

.

But the flames burn hot

And they enjoy tasting flesh

your perfect mirror

.

You crave for sugar

To replace heart’s lost sweetness

Devouring in vain

.

Desire unsated

Hell’s casino is open

The Devil loves games

.

And after some years

You curse God for this distress

None of this your fault

.

Yet God is there still

In the breeze and the birdsong

That you are blind to

.

You ignored sunrises

Hungover and overworked

Maintaining 'life'

.

Your lens broken, dull

Stress and pressure take their toll

Relationships crack

.

Oh crying human

Begging, pleading, bargaining

Sharing demons' beds

.

You offer your soul

For a ticket to heaven

But it sold, it's gone

.

So still you search hell

For what can never exist

Outside of your mind

.

Lost little human

How long till you realise

God never left you

.

You defied his law

With the flesh of the sentient

Pronged onto your fork

.

Attune your station

Get on the right frequency

Become virtuous

.

Jah, God, Universe

Patiently waiting for you

To make new choices

.

Raise your energy

So you may connect again

Returning to one

.

“It’s too hard” you cry,

As if hell is easier

Cool, your choice, Just stay

.

This song kept playing in my mind as I neared the end of this poem. I feel it’s only fitting to add here ❤️✨
