Cain and Able

Out of the Garden, God still with us Adam knew Eve conceiving Cain and Abel Mom thankful she was able To bear children after falling Sin to much to bear Already crouching at mom’s door In the form of fruit Firstfruits that’s why we are here Cain and Able giving offerings And Farmer Cain brought the fruit But Able the second child brought the firstborn and the fat And the Lord was happy with that But not the fruit Not ripe Not right Faith or religion Became a costly decision, for both brothers So Cain was mad Face falling fast as the father Questioned his anger Pointing out the danger once again crouching at the door Beseeching the older brother to rule over it Just as he was made for But he didn't, instead plotting Inviting Abel into a trap Cain had snapped Rising up and taking his brother down Faith or religion Claiming its first victim outside the garden Rotten fruit God still in pursuit Where is Abel? [Drop] Am I my brothers keeper? Cain digging the hole deeper Abel’s blood crying Shouting a curse Over Cain, everything so much worse Than it had to be Ground no longer yielding good fruit Had it ever Wandering Pondering What He had done Ground not yielding But neither, neither had God’s mercy Mercy marking Cain, ending the vengeance Embracing the pain Resting on the restless Not a punishment but protection God bearing it all Cain thought it a death sentence Seven times seven years looking over his shoulder in fear Out of God’s presence but having the presence of mind To realize he couldn't bear it Swearing the curse meant the end Not so said god, But Cain could only Nod Going east of eden Easting fruit hard won from the ground Offering the firsts At that time people began to call on the name of Lord But still the ground thirsts For blood And it was going to get it
