The Aftermath of 'Let there Be'

PAD Challenge day 2: write a he said-she said poem

He said, ‘Let there be’

And with these words gave birth

To mysteries and galaxies

Of the heavens and earth

She said, ‘Adam, eat’

He did and so did she

And thus began the curse of man

Where Eden used to be

He said, ‘let there be’

Knowing its utter cost

Of agony to set man free

By death upon a cross
