An Original Poem by S. Hassan

Oh, Milton! Why thwart god’s beloved,

Poor, Eve

Blamed for misfortunes,

Destined for Man.

Why not blame Adam?

Or Satan perhaps?

Why only find fault,

With Eve?

Is it wrong to Hope,

for more than one’s fair share?

If so, feel free to find Eve,

Guilty.

However, you mustn’t

Forget

You need two hands

To clap

Like you need Adam

With Eve, to commit,

The Greatest Sin, of Man.
