'Adam Lives In Theory' by Ana Hagins

Adam lives in theory

Taking his man made doctrine

and using it to help

uplift his pride to a distant

hierarchy,

creating his own wisdom

and implanting it into the

minds of the eager.

He’s so far gone in a daze

that he begins to

rely only in his self-proclamations

and turns a deaf ear to understanding.

Ranking high in his own social status,

he takes independence to a

whole new dimension

because he’s self-portrayed

and self-proclaimed,

saying to himself, “I AM.”

Since errors are a sinners daily duty

Adam takes his gospel,

a doctrine of dark illusion,

and baptizes with past confusions.

Because he has more degrees than

a thermometer it shows he is

the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

No one comes unto knowledge except through him.

Adam lives in theory

trying to turn stone into bread,

feeding the hearts of the curious

with his unleavened loaves.

Yet they still hunger.

So he shares his knowledge

and they adhere and believe

that because knowledge is infinite,

it has infinitely fell on him.

But Adam no longer is the only one

to plant deceptive seeds.

For indeed, Eve too

ate the fruit of the tree.
