Cain was so angry with Abel
His face expressed a downcast look
God noticed his countenance at once
Told him that tone would make him a crook
Cain called to his brother, "Come".
Then said to his brother (thinking bum).
"Let's go out in the field my domain,"
Then in anger, Abel was slain
Anger, jealousy, and greed fueled
Negative emotions inside.
Cain was ready to fight a duel
Repentance would have calmed the tide.
Why do men kill each other this day?
Revenge, frustration, hate, money
Greed, sex, jealousy roles all play
Personal vendetta not even funny
Forgiving and asking forgiveness
Clean and clear the heart every day
God is a meriful God who forgives
Ask him and repent when you pray

I never saw where Cain said he was sorry for what he did only that
he was sorry that his punishment was so severe..
