Their Blood Cries

Their Blood Cries Jealous Cain killed Abel his brother, piercing the heart of Eve, their mother. When Cain to hide his deed had tried, Abel’s blood from earth’s bowels cried. Cruel tyrants, deranged despots, have murdered victims by the lots. Wars aplenty claimed so many, innocents’ blood from earth’s bowels cries. Senseless violence vies for victims, spilling blood like water, on a whim. The blood of voiceless ones aborted, with Abel’s blood from earth’s bowels cry. Then there are the myriad martyrs, murdered for their religious faith. Be they Christians, Hindus, Muslims, their blood from earth’s bowels cry. Slavery claimed the lives of millions, while the enslavers earned their billions. The innocent blood of these victims with Abel’s blood from earth’s bowels cry. The ceaseless cries of countless millions, from the earth to heaven ascend. Cries for vengeance still a coming, since Abel’s blood started crying. Jealous leaders slew the Savior, sent by God to bring them salvation. His blood does not cry out for vengeance but offers forgiveness instead. One day soon the longed-for vengeance, will be served with righteous justice, by the one who died to save those, who seek and receive his forgiveness.
