Sept.04/03 World Religion—Religion Poem

By: Laura Banfield

For: Ms. Chong

I am a Christian and I practice this religion.

Hollup- wait a minute; excuse my precision. Let me take it back

From way back, now can I remember?

In church always to never,

Betray, disobey or hate any other. Neither

To rarely ever- that’s how my religion was consulted to me;

You see,

I believe that Adam had a thing for this chick named Eve

(in the bible they were the 1^st on the market

To be)

But when God set the rules, he didn’t think he’d be mistaken

For a fool. So when Evil lurked,

It’s plan had told Eve “do not grieve” but to

Go ahead and eat all she can until time was getting steep

(mind you this plan had worked) As deception followed through,

For the 2^nd time (oh yes) she knew,

But Eve ignored the main rule.

She gave the fruit to her companion and simplistically explained

To Adam,

“Oh it’s okay, it was given to me from a mysterious figure named

Damien.”

This fruit made them realize, speechless they were,

Hiding to cover and find any disguise.

To them they were completely surprised.

Low and behold they’re they were buck naked right before

Each

Others’

Eyes

And with no further a due, when God came into town he didn’t know what to do.

So with one quick, final move, he gave them both

(Adam and Eve)

A boot!

And that started the many ways that children

As well as adults

Carry with them in this day and age.

But as long as you pray-you’ll reach heaven with no worries no disruptions right?

No way.

Be strong with God and there will bloom a bond.

The glass is half full in his kingdom.

No misunderstanding, in heaven your saved-we are all his loved ones.

Now don’t get me wrong,

This doesn’t mean if you pray

One day,

Your problems will be long gone and just fade away.

No.

But,

Don’t take it for granted, A religion can keep you enchanted---

Me? I’m enchanted.

For I am a Christian and I practice this religion.

I took it way back; now what do you think about that?
