BREAKING
THE CHAINS < 3
of 61
>
Nuclear family
It
wasn't so much a fall
as a fallout.
Eve
split the apple
and began a Cain reaction
which no one was Abel to stop.
None has since escaped the sickness—
see how the children glow!
Beneath achievement's
blossoming cloud
we measure out our half-lives,
radiant with sin.
