The Fall of Man

And so we fall
From the grotesque castles
Paved with rotten fruit
Of the garden that once was

Our brilliance stained
With insignificant worry 
Our minds stale
Stuck in a dead loop

Fostered we were 
Given a chance to be born
In the vast love of our Earthly Mother

But our innocence we at first instance
Declare a weakness
Exchange it for false futures
And gross cravings

No more do green blades of grass greet me
No more do winged creatures delight me
No more do I stand before my Creator in awe
No, obsessed by my own reflection in the mirror
My self I adore

On this Earth an arrogant force I walk
All beings fragile I stomp on
Taking Life
Never even blinking an eye

Denied have I 
The immortal wisdom in me
Severed have I
My divine origin 
Annihilated have I
The human within

What is it I want now?
Nothing please! 
Purify me of my greed
Take away my everything
An innocent being make of me

Otherwise, end me
