An African Poem.

Post by Bayo Aderoju »

Adam Lived in Eden.

Green and serene environment
The creator know what suits his works.
As as Adam was, they will be hale, hearty and happy.

A lot of pestilences,
Men are no longer Adams.
Are you complaining?
We met this place green.
Now look at your neighborhood
Civilization? where is green?

In a garden, Adam lived in Eden
With Eve and after the doom,
And clothing, their shelter was still green.
Plant a tree today;
Hearken the heavenly voice!

©Bayo Aderoju (a Nigerian Poet.)

Nice one. Advocating for a greener environment. Just wondering if there is a typo on line 3. (repetition of 'as'). Well done!
