Stan Cooper: Paradise Lust (Graphic by Don Hunt)

Stan: How the hell did we get here?

Lower Caption:

Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of EDEN, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top

From Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit by John Milton

PARADISE LUST

In his books about Satan, temptation and hell
Milton's tales don't factually gel
The intrigue with the apple was really a bust
I'm certainly certain, it was more about lust

Paradise Lost, down through the ages
Accepted as fact by religious old sages
Still on bookshelves, musty and dusty
Not yet perceived as tales for the lusty
