Left of Eden

By Matthew Aaron Mossotti

Left of Eden, far from forgotten, fallen-

- fruits of knowledge and naked lies…

I’m hanging on the word for meaning and life.

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am! Man, that’s sacred!

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am left of Eden.

Planted to fall down to rise up in dust and ashes –

- for harvester angels who’ll burn up the weeds.

I’m flying on the wind of the breath of Life.

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am! Man, that’s sacred!

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am left of Eden.

I was deceived; I ate. Forgive me.

My eyes fell opened; I repent. Redeem me.

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am! Man, that’s sacred!

I am! I am! I am! I am! I am left of Eden.
