One Rule Garden Simplicity

God gave man only one rule.
Do all else your body, spirit or mind desires.
No acts are immoral or desires impure.
Only keep one rule.

Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
God said it and man and woman had no desire to ask, Why?

Then woman met Satan in the garden.
He used the line he used to deceive the angels.
You too can be like God. Esteem yourself.

Disobey the one rule.
Eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

And when the woman chose,
She chose to esteem herself.

And when man saw what she had done.
He chose the same. Self-Esteem.

It was then that they felt so Self-conscious.
Man and woman wanted to hide.
They had become inadequate and naked.

Now sin is more complicated than the one rule.
Yes, man and woman are still inadequate and naked,
But in their knowledge they are always asking - Why?

And Satan, His is the same old story. Self -Esteem
