Adam

On the day of 'Six' he sent us from above, to cherish all he'd done and to bask within his love.

He sent us ten commandments and asked us to obey, promised that eternal life would come to us one day...
But we took it all for granted, killed our fellow man, so he sent his son to put us right but we drove nails into his hand.

Now all there is is death, hate, rage and malice, not a single one of us deserve to drink from his chalice.
I hate this world we've made, corrupt and broken mess and the only shinning light is the bitter sting of death.

But heaven is an empty place, as very few deserve to pass through it's pearly gate.

Hey sorrow,

Awesome poem! This has so much truth in it that it’s not funny…
The good thing is that, even though we don’t deserve it, God has grace on us and lets us through if we have faith in what he’s done for us…

Anyway, like I said great poem, I loved the truthfulness of this! Btw, I loved how you named this poem after Adam, the guy who started all of this mess... For me it's kind of ironic

Thanks for sharing

Very true, so many people just assume that they will go to some form of heaven, yet they do nothing good to ensure this. Sad but true, heavne mustbe an empty place indeed!

Very true! A very good write! As my brother said MAGNIFICENT!!!

A sign in  the wind
The fatal last breath
Soft prelude to death
Alone
Amidst black roses

Intriguing, a complex yet simple story is Adam, I wrote a poem titled adam as well, same premise mostly I think. Good read

Interesting write. There was real power in the beginning of this piece.
I might offer that you consider a more concise format for your work.
The longer sentences drew away from the read to follow.  Too good to miss a drop.
Strong effort, well thought out theme.
It's interesting that somehow in the plan, we are considering this all for ourselves, and I came away feeling like the commandments might be viewed as a guide, that inspires us that think about them to model a different path.  Truly, life is an adventure woven simultaneously on all fronts.

Enjoyed,
TD

"But heaven is an empty place, as very few deserve to pass through it's pearly gate."

Exactly. I love it when someone can sum my feelings up in one simple line.

I like its simplicity and the title fits nicely.

Great piece Sorrow, really enjoyed it.  So true and refreshing to see people who admit to this.  The rawness of Adam really grasps one.  Cheers, Sylvia
