New Adam

So, Adam, you are back. Tell me, what's new
beyond rape and murder and pillage?
Oh, yes, and greed.

Same sex marriage, you say. That's different,
not really new,
the result of loving reflections.

And yet my son, apparently, thought man worth saving.
Well, he was young,
but what possibly in heaven could possibly have been his reasons?

Have you seen what might have merited redemption?

You were a fool, New Adam, to even think yourself wise.
All the while your women
out-foxed you or set you aside,
both you and your vaunted penis.

I hear dildos are now on the rise.

You've despoiled creation.
You care only for money and sex.
You’re that one mistake I regret.

Consider, Adam, you were truly modeled in mud,
not in my image.
That, Adam, was your first white lie.
