I am a snake. 

I slithered through time. 

I am the temptress of fruit 

I worm my way into history

The poison of my fruit

Spread and took peace 

From those whose peace was absolute. 

I tore them from their haven

Cast thern out of heaven

My tongue flickers

Tasting their feelings 

As they turn away from their Father. 

The shame radiates from both

Their children will bear the burden of their folly 

Unbeknownst to them

This burden fades into the annals of time. 

Now they are being forgotten by

The endless marching of time. 

I am a snake

Who haunted humans 

From the day they took their first breath. 

I am the snake

Who turned humans away from God. 

I am a snake

And I proudly destroyed paradise.
