"Karma and Reincarnation" by Joe DiMino

I am told there was a fall—-
Some ancient ancestor of mine,
A distant relationship with
An apparent flaw (hum…some bad blueprint I guess)
Succumbed to temptation
When a snake in a garden
Slithered to a tree (by the way, how did he get there?
No Eden to me)
Enticed her to eat of a dangerous fruit
(Who made it big and red and juicy?)
And now no created is free,
With abrupt explanation
Cast-out a slave
For Earth Plantation;

What’s wrong with this picture?

1:
(A) Do snakes talk or hiss?....
(B) How many have you kissed?..........................

2:
(A) Where was the gardener’s boss when needed?
Some place better? Off with
his elite, on more fertile soil,
eating the best fruit for nutrition—-sounds
too much like a politician. Answer only true or false….

3:
(A) All of the above…..
(B) Don’t understand any of the above….
(C) Where is the love?....
