Poem

Adam & Eve had Cain
then they were blessed
with Abel, two sons.
 
Abel was the herdsman
while Cain was a farmer
Cain bringing an offering to the Lord
of the fruits of the ground;
Abel, meanwhile, gave Him
the firstborn of his flocks.
 
The Lord was touched by Abel
his offering acceptable,
while that of Cain
the Lord did not find
to be pleasing.
 
Cain objected to this
being very upset,
so the Lord asked him
why he felt as he did.
 
The Lord admonished him
warning him that sin lurked
ready to steal his heart
advising him to fight it,
to master it.
 
Cain remained angered
contriving to take his brother
out into the field,
there murdering him.
 
So the Lord asked Cain
where his brother was;
Cain sarcastically replied
that he didn't know
retorting as well, asking
was he his brother's keeper?
 
The Lord admonished him
telling of his brother's blood,
its voice crying out
to Him from the ground.
 
The Lord cursed Cain
from the earth,
warning him it would no longer
give him good harvest.
 
Further, Cain would be
a fugitive, homeless,
but Cain begged
saying his punishment
was too great to take.
 
He feared for his life
that his brother's murder
would soon be avenged.
Also that he would be hidden
from the face of the Lord.
 
However, the Lord marked Cain
warning anyone who might
try to take his life
that their punishment
would be sevenfold.
 
Cain then left the presence
of the Lord
settling in Nod, east of Eden
having a son, Enoch,
with his wife there.
 
He founded a city
beyond there,
naming it for his son,
calling it Enoch.
