Eve was in the garden under the leafiest tree.
She trusted it to shelter her, not me. The serpent spoke.
His lie was smooth and easy to believe.
Follow me, Eve. I will show you the way to love.
But he taught her all the things that were a lie.
Man is your enemy, follow me. Love self, serve me.
Turn from good and purity. Oh, Eve, I will give you everything.
Power, Eve. You've never had that before.
Always following and serving, but serve me instead and it will all be different.
Tear down your world, the one the Creator made for you.
Remake it. Or destroy it.
I don't care which, just as long as it is not what it was meant to be.
Now wait here, for me. I won't leave you alone.
But he did. The serpent left her alone.
