Down the garden path went Adam
He found and Apple to fathom
He could not understand the depth
Because the apple was from the knowledge tree
Eve was cajoled by the serpent
She forced her husband 
Came upon Adm the curse
Life for you will be arduous
Wish Adam & Eve had not walked
Down the garden path
The story sounds so strange, why would God curse any of his / her creation? There are variation to the story that God punish the ground and not Adam. My point has always been – if God isn’t someone who is compassionate, why should we call him / her God?
