The Blaming Game

In the Garden of Eden an ominous silence spread From the Heavenly Paradise all grace had fled Adam knew there was no recompense for his act Against his crime, God would violently react Sorry that the pact once solemnly made did wilt In shame and regret the first lovely pair sat They moved away from God's wonted path And hid under bushes fearing His wrath God as usual came for His evening round But Adam and Eve were nowhere around The omniscient knew what had happened, Over the gross disobedience He was deeply saddened God called out- 'Adam… Adam From your hide out, come…come When everything else, I had given you free Tell me what made you eat from the forbidden tree' Adam said- Me Lord, I acted under Eve's persuasion For the forbidden fruit, I had no inclination Next God questioned Eve Who acted so very naïve She said she was treacherously tempted by Satan Who came disguised more like a dragon All wisdom and knowledge was assured And with false promises, she was lured For breaking the pact, heavy was the price incurred God withdrew all the blessings conferred From the bliss of Paradise, they were sacked To live in a world with all misery wracked! Since then, the blaming game is conveniently played And the onus of our actions on others shoulders laid As from Adam to Eve and from Eve to Satan Cleverly passed over our accountability's baton!
