Accursed you were from Eden, From a singular act made infamous It was enough to span eternity From hence, you became the fall taker Blamed for every fall in virtue More hated than the Sinai scapegoat If there were a mistake, If there were an evil done, It was you as has always been. It seems so it will be. The good hate you even the bad, Though you take the rap for them. Will there ever be an end to it? Victim of singular act! But mankind is free to keep off thee Hence they aren’t justified. Eternal buck collector! There is no sorrow like thine. « return. |
