i did not know sin meant chains <br />so full of them all over my physique <br />and i did not know the deceptive apple <br />could lead to this woeful state <br />only god now is boundless freedom <br />the paradise boundless freedom <br />rhe sky boundless freedom <br />the sea boundless freedom <br />and to enjoy all these now in chain, <br />boundless the hurt is the heart <br />injurious chain on every inch of my physique <br />that jolts me for their wants <br />every minute of the day <br />and to know that i will pass this chain <br />down to every of my offsprings <br />binding them down to earth <br />till they become just dust and bones <br />chained, chained, chained, <br />this hateful long chain the devil spawned <br />that laid end to end <br />could snake its way round the world <br />this hateful chain that circles the body <br />imprisons it, hurtful as red hot iron <br />how stealthily it works day by day <br />tightening its grip <br />till i am wrinkled, bent, and bedridden <br />till only the last breath would release me <br />of its curse <br />this chain that torture me for wordly needs <br />oh god, how hateful you are <br />to bind me in these red hot chains! ! ! <br /> <br />note: <br />chain refers to the blood vessels round our body <br />they indeed resemble a chain <br />as never did adam experience hunger <br />until this chain exacted its wants<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-about-poetry-adam-s-first-poem-after-the-fall/
