the fault line in distress, the tears flow without 

warning, voices raised in angry lies, undercurrents

of lost lives as a man and woman break apart

as these imposters living together without hope

of a future as hate grows toward the one you once

loved now just a nobody without depth of caring 

for now all is destroyed and they must dissolve

this once paradise where joy, laughter and love

was rejected by a selfish power that demanded

their loyalty so this man and woman got the boot

by their supreme god that gave them no hope of

acceptance, no fires burned, only words of despair

for each day in their openness toward each other,

adam and eve unafraid to speak ones thoughts 

and enjoy the laughter of ones love as time went

forth and their children grew and their prayers

never answered by a god hateful of their loving

openness to give their family a truth of friendship
