the snake is in the garden patch
as beautiful as trust
but pain has entered to the world
along with hate and lust
and man is tempted by the taste
of greed and jealousy
the fruit of the forbidden tree
has sealed our destiny
so good and evil coexist
within the heart of man
and will throughout eternity
though that was not the plan
it does no good to crush the snake
then beauty also dies
but we must all speak up for truth
and shun the serpent’s lies
