Premium Member Mark of Cain
In the land of Eden,
In the land of Nod.
I once was a man,
That had a plot.
The black eye derived from fratricide,
Reprised in time despite;
the denies of delight.
Fight or flight, Its just not right;
To take your brothers life for strife.
I'm enviable as I'm labeled in a...

Out of my league, that's how you are
Still my foolish heart saw you a par
To your proposed love, I did not refrain
I will be happier, once I fall in love again

Far cry the laws, we tried and go beyond
We're happy and giddy yet all gone...

The Mark of Cain
Dare I chide you my child
For playing in the moonlight
With the children of those I know
Despise my kind and kin folks?

Dare  chide you my child
For daring to put aside
deep seated wounds I felt
Grievances of generations past and present?

Dare I chide you my child
For mingling...

The Mark of Cain
Designated driver,
your road to end at last

The choice was yours, mistake inured,
your future now your past

Designated driver,
those high beams in your eyes

A haunting name, the lasting blame
—that night your dreams reprise

The Mark of Cain
Death twisted history,
guilts conferee
the liar unmasked
revenge by decree

His legions unfurling,
their flag through the smoke
the volunteers hailing,
preserving all hope

With dark days upon them,
no fear to be found
the women, the children,
in place underground

Around every corner,
behind every door
their liberty sacred,
today—evermore

(Warsaw: March, 2022)...
