Happy Tuesday, world! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Now, I’m not feeling very well today and I don’t have the energy to write a full post, but I still did not want to leave y’all in a lurch waiting for a Tuesday post. So without further ado, here is a poem I wrote from the point of view of Eve and the rest of mankind after. Enjoy!
The Song of Mankind (As Told By Eve)
It all started in the garden
Oh, I was so naïve
Everything so beautiful
Everything to believe
That serpent started talking
Oh, he seemed so kind
Talking about that fruit
He seemed to read my mind
Before I knew it
I bit in
I disobeyed God
I understood sin
I cursed mankind
I caused the fall
Destroyed perfection
Brought sin to all
But God told of a savior
One who was to come
To forgive me and everyone
By pouring out His love
Mankind rejected Him
But even still He came
To conquer death, sin, and the grave
Though not deserved, He took my blame
He forgave all sin
And we’re all free
No more lies
He rescued me!

Hey Amanda,
I read your bio after seeing you comment on Soldiers of God. I really like this poem. I love it when people use their poetry to glorify God. I like to write poetry but I doubt any of is this good. Nice job.

Someday I’d like to use my poetry and writing to point people towards Jesus. But for now they’re in a shoe box in my closet. I’m excited to read more of your posts when I have time.
