Adam and Eve and Me and Why?





Am I to fathom, or desire to change,
the course this earthly flesh has traced?
Was I carried in the loins of Adam;
incubated in the Eves of the ages?

Was I conceived with the spirit of God;
orphaned, and sent off to earthly beings;
set on a tightly-sealed mystery course;
my soul, encased in in a body that’s breathing

It’s the kind of thing that will blow your mind;
In the middle of the night when you’re lying in bed
thinking of the earthly journey you’re had;
wondering how many earthlings were bred.

-Joy S. Barefoot
