Biblikel Seconds

The right to be right, 
Works poorly in flight, 
Or unused in spite,
Of a righteous plight. 

A right not inherited,
To be used when merited,
Sounds trite when parroted,
With 'Now look what it did'.

Parents love Abel,
In the famous fable,
Leave the first-born unstable,
Putting murder on the table.

You see, first was placed first, 
By forefathers well versed,
So future children be not cursed,
By Second and minds of the worst.

We cannot be so blind to believe,
Like the famed Adam and Eve,
Protecting the Second will leave,
Our First without grieve.
