The conference in the cloud concluded
Minutes of the meeting typed and mailed
The Gods had arrived at their decision
Juicy red is for Eve, Adam is to go for the blue
Insider trading commenced, it’s a fair deal they deemed
For he was one of them; a man
Born to rule, meant to conquer
Unknown to Eve, her future decided, her path charted
Gods led the duo into the garden of Eden
Verdant greens brimming with life
Laden with fruits, swaying with joy
Lust and desire filled in one; while the other infused with power
This’s the garden of life, Gods mansplained.
Chivalry is a virtue, they thought as they held the door for her
Not realising the blatant sexism beneath
Eve listened to all while Adam sauntered off free to roam as he pleased
Countless watchful eyes bore into Eve
Watching her every step, judging her every move
They knew she’ll go for the luscious reds
Uh! Women are so vain! Smitten by outer beauty
The Gods snickered and rejoiced
As she fell into their trap
Yes! We knew it’s bound to happen. It’ll be a man’s world.
Alas! If only they knew and understood women!
The biggest puzzle; The greatest mystery
They high-fived and cheered, watching Eve picking at the apple
Rejecting the power packed berries; she had gone for beauty!
The ground beneath them gave away
For the moment next was unexpected, unimagined
Batting her eyelashes, she gifted the luscious fruit
Smitten by her beauty, Adam bit into the juicy delight
While Eve enjoyed the puzzling blueberries, the forbidden fruit
A fiery rush ran inside; an unknown strength gave her delight
All hell broke, and a mayhem engulfed the Gods
Stupid woman! What have you done?
The apple was for you; they groaned and moaned
Well, well! Giving and nurturing
That’s how I am deemed to be
Tempted though I was, but how could I eat it first
Without giving to Adam
To the one who’s meant to rule & conquer
With all my heart, I wish him well
But even as she spoke, her aura had changed
She wasn’t the Eve of before. She wasn’t what they had wished her to be!
This isn’t how the world was meant to be
Gods rued and whimpered and watched with trepidation
A renewed Eve, teeming with strength
Bestowed with a power to move heavens and earth
What have we done! Our canvas is now her foray!
Foolish Adam, he let us down! They whined and wailed
Tender berries changed the fate of the world
Foiled the grand plans of the ones above
Women strong and sensitive found their place
Giving and demanding as they pleased
A kinder world, saying no to wars and yes to love
Gods rejoiced from above
For her creation was far better than they had ever imagined it to be
The Gods hushed, better to be on her good side
For we might never know what her plans are
A quick meeting, and a power packed brainstorming session
Out went a note; meant to seek apology
Oh! Eve, not stupid, but wise you are
Kindness runs in your veins, knowing you’d choose to give first
The berries filled with power were left just for you
We approve of your decision; we offer our unconditional support
The Garden is yours; the world’s yours to rule; they signed off
Handing over the reigns to Eve, the Gods went off to the putting greens
