The Serpent questioned God

The serpent spoke out of turn
leading the people astray
away from relationship with God
something we pay for today.
The serpent questioned God
God’s authority over Eve
telling her she would not die,
words that would deceive
causing us spiritual death
estrangement from God
the source of all that is
the potter, creator, God.
