"We are stardust /
Billion-year-old carbon...
Caught in the devil's bargain.
And, we've got to get ourselves /
Back to the garden."
- Mitchell, 1969
From Eden I trod /
into the Land of Nod.
when a malevolent sod
when a benevolent god /
condemned future generations /
to trials and tribulations /
for one woman's abnegations /
of a man's world's temptations.
- CZ, 2025
"I can remember /
I do recall.
There were no weeds /
no thorns at all.
I was misguided,
I was misled
I asked for good,
but got evil instead."
- Chambers & Nicholson, 2012
