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