The Garden by Jonathan McKenzie

A garden planted
A man formed
Four river flowed
It had onyx & bdellium stone 

In its midst two trees
One to sustain
One to reign
Man given the first not the latter 

A mission given
A helper too
All things good
Man to grow into adulthood 

King to grow in wisdom
Prophet to grow in knowledge
Priest to expand the temple
Good but incomplete 

A serpent enters
A lie told
And choices made
Eve & Adam to Satan bade 

A satanic king
A lying prophet
An unclean priest
Destined to now die 

God comes to be present
Adam hides to be his own
God grieved does what he must
The serpent now begins to eat dust 

The seed of Eve will come to crush 
The curse will end with a ring
A new Prophet-Priest and King
Man to be restored
