Adam

'Why was Adam driven from the garden? '
The teachers of wisdom have forgiven him.
Since Adam asked for a sin to wander out,
Afterwards masters of communication make us
Wonder about the Hereafter,
Wonder about the future.
The same room knew what to do,
The same garden overthrew us all.

For he was blind to creation in his youth,
Then Eve admired his scent,
And became his pupil,
Believing in the dreams of her sleep
And then there was just Death.
