Sacrificial Lamb Chops

 

Standing at the crime scene
with his Mrs accomplice

Adam had to choose
between Love or obedience

Does he turn her in
for her original sin
or take that fatal
accomplice bite
and share Eve's punishment?

One stinking rule
was all they had to observe

Matters not
that a victim 
of sly deception was she

but not he

Adam made his free will choice
and took his poison
like a dutiful husband should

Shared the forever banishment
as man and wife

For you see
to Adam and Eve
the vow of for better or worse
was more than a throw away pledge

It came attached
with bitter consequence
as they paid the high cost
of their marital obligation

As we their children
to this day
who mourn the tragic sacrifice
that our Paradise Lost tribe
can readily attest

Human relationships can be such a bitch
