What Happened?

What Happened?

A Poem by Chelsea
"

The world, good. The apple, turning all sour.

"

What Happened?

The world, a globe, once revolving upon good

Yet humanity seems to strive upon evil

What happened?

Oh right, the apple

Author's Note

Chelsea
This poem just came to me. I think the first three lines are pretty straightforward. The third line however, a bit of a tricky one. My religion, Christianity believes that evil started when Adam and Eve ate an apple from the tree of evil. It’s hard to explain, so here’s a link.

That should help. Please review!

I would make two changes to this otherwise thoughtful poem:
1. change the word "strive" to "thrive," just because it makes more sense to me
2. get rid of your author's note. I think enough people are familiar with the
Adam and Eve story that the allusion to the "apple" will be recognized.
Well done. I liked this, even if I don't entirely agree with it.

well, that's the cycle of human life...
i'm not sure that evil existed when adam ate the apple though because Lilith was the one who...never mind...this was meaningful...

i think this is very good. but you could probably add more to it to maybe make it longer and not so short. but like i said that is my opinion and you dont have to listen to what i say sometimes people dont listn to me at all.
