The Lie (revised version)

Age Rating: 10 to 127

  The Lie (revised version)
Picture Credits: http://www.wahcenter.org/events/2002/paradiselost/A-Satan.jpg

Their Father gave them paradise,
But they still wanted more,
Now it is gone, and what is left,
Is nothing like before.

They saw the fruit upon the tree,
And thought they saw it glow,
They ate of it and then they knew,
That they were left with woe.

For Satan came just like a snake,
And offered them a dream,
And though he looked so innocent,
With evil he did gleam.

He said, "You will be like a god",
And that became his chant,
And then he cursed God's holy throne,
While acting so gallant.

Then he was cursed by God above,
And on his belly crawled,
Now every time we see a snake,
We often are appalled.

For we remember Satan's lie,
And how the lie has spread,
And how those who believe the lie,
Will see him when they're dead.

But God has crushed the serpents head,
Through Jesus Christ, His Son,
Who shed His blood upon the cross,
And our salvation won.

Now Satan's lie has no effect,
On those who trust in God,
For they can see the ugly truth,
Through Satan's thin façade.

I just love religious thrillers and this poem, although it has a happy ending. Just thrills me. I love how your images brought the betrayl by Adam and Eve to life, and how it reminds us all to becarefull of anything that seems to good to be true.

Great job, Tabby.

YAY! I'm back! *thumbs up sign* GREAT JOB! This is really well-put-together and the flow is extremely smooth, PLUS you used a wide range of vocabulary, which isn't always easy to do, by the way. Excellent job it was one of your best,

Yes, your talent blows me away! You always seem to manage to get the right words for rhyme and rythm. It all fits together so perfectly. This is an awesome piece you've written! Do you ever stumble over the words, or do they just flow out of your mind?

You are so facile at meter and rhyme. You make it look so easy. Technically, the poem is essentiallly flawless with a good message.

Brilliant work. You have amazing rhyme in this, and a great story too. (Of course, I am rather fond of this theme, so... ^_^) I didn't read the other version, so I cannot really compare them, all I can say is I rather like this one, I have to say the ending was my favorite.
Good write!
Cheers!

We live in paradise and we don't even know it. It is better to die than to live with judgement and blame. Our first sin, was to miss the mark, we were led to the middle of the Garden, two fruits glowing, on two trees growing, one forbidden, the other hidden. Tree of good and evil or the tree of everlasting life. Nothing can take the place of free will. NE WAYS Great write, good job, you got me started, thanks
