The Anatomy of Adam [Poem]

Writer's picture: Gabe LouGabe Lou

The anatomy of Adam,

God’s ideal plan for man

we’ll tackle roles along

so try to keep up if you can

life’ll deal a man

some hands that [he]

won’t understand

&

some worms is what you’ll find you

when you open up them cans


personally, I’ll verbalize the truth

that’s in advance,

society ain’t helped

& their values don’t stand a chance

when you think of Adam,

God had made use of His hands

to create on earth, a man

to have dominion,

fam & plans


before sin,

here is what Eden

looked like before,

a man that God had made

had grazed throughout the

garden floors,

handled responsibilities

& tackled all his chores..

but consistently,

so habit gave him room

to tackle more


later,

he would walk the garden isles

like it’s a store,

he named the birds, the insects,

water animals & more

God gave man commands

in which he definitely didn’t ignore

‘cause you can be a boss, for sure

but even bosses can get bored


I imagine man,

made by God, so he was Holy,

talked to God like, everyday,

that Holy matrimony

+ he was pretty healthy,

so I’m sure he wasn’t boney

but the garden,

be too cozy

for that man to be so lonely


So God, The Giver of all things,

I’m knowing He ain’t cheap,

dropped that boy some

some melatonin

& put that man to sleep

took a rib right from his side,

I’m sure he didn’t peep,

unless he did

but then

beheld a being

that’d sweep him off his feet


Imagine that

a woman with them curves, who’s so petite

y’all got a garden to y’all selves

& shorty’s yours to keep

not other man to ride ‘round past

& honk their horns (or beep)

I guess when diligence comes from a man

a good woman, he will reap


days would go on by,

enjoy this woman he’d call wife,

she’d be his company,

& in return, he would provide

a happy place, and a headspace

that shorty could confide (in)

man would do everything right

but she would

wander from his side


both her curiosity and

conversational nature

would lead woman far from her man

& put her 🤬 in danger

this the very reason Christ would

come down to a manger

all because a woman

didn’t learn to keep her cool

from strangers


I’m joking,

(tho I’m really tryna mitigate my anger 😅)

it’s true that woman strayed first

so it’s easy to point the finger

you’ll see why & how

it put humanity in danger

after man had let a woman

& his feelings rob his gangsta


God had told them

“Eat from any tree except this one,

& if you choosing otherwise,

then surely you’ll be done”

Eve ate from the tree,

but damage hadn’t been (yet) done,

it’s Adam’s choice that failed us

when what

he should’ve done was RUN


God, in all His loving-care

had told them bout that “one”

didn’t go too much into detail

but ain’t limit them for “fun”,

in a perfect world where ain’t no sin

& man could run

literally EVERYTHING,

set limits,

So a God, there’d be just ONE


that’s right,

the tree was only there

to set some boundaries,

if Adam could run everything then

what would be God to He?

that’s why as a man,

It is important for y’all (us) too see

& think,

not let your feelings or a woman

run you down the sink


Adam did know better

but where he messed up, actually

is failing to trust God

that He’d replace her, fastly

It might sound harsh to say

& I don’t mean shade, passively

but trust God even if

you lose what makes you happily

(happy)


otherwise, just like this man,

you’ll doom humanity,

brah, we’d all be straight

had ADAM looked right past the tree

or led his wife away from it

lovingly but manly

emotions always valid,

but think

for the sake of your family.
