Bird Flew

When Eve was searching for a rib
The Devil led her to a crib
Where Cain and Able
Hatched a stork fable
Creating the very first fib

English actor, Michael Cain -
As a film icon, may he ever reign.
Age 90, rich and retired is he.
He’s had a grand life. Don’t you agree?

Sons of Cain

This World belong to GOD
You didn't create anything here
God is the creator
He rules this World
Tell Satan that God owns this World
Sons of Satan

The children of Cain



The purpose of life is

to discover
the purpose of life
 
We are the children of Cain

cursed-wanderers all
building towers sky-ward

desperate to be reunited
with our ground-of-being

the echoes of
our hearts' call

never returning

Premium Member Descendant of Cain In a Crowd of Strangers

cold-hearted punch
    came on suddenly. . .
blank expression of
sideways troll
passes by.
    passed out microphone
        with a body nearby.
  inexcusable
soul —
       soulless satisfaction. . .
second death sold
  to the wandering whorl.

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

Premium Member Adam and Eve and the raising of Cain

Have you ever thought about the raising of Cain?
Where did that boy get a rage so completely insane 
that he ended up murdering his younger brother?

Did he learn it from his father and mother,
who must've been in such deep, psychological pain
for having caused Eden to go down the drain.

To Cain

I dream of you from dusk til dawn
Every single night
I write a thousand poems
But none of them sound right
You made me so happy
You never made me blue
But you died before
I got to say "I love you"
I wish ever so much
That I could remain strong
But how do I live without you
Now that you have gone?

Raising Cain

One always sees a familiar face
At every international place
So many believe
That Adam & Eve
Were Mum & Dad to the whole human race

Well, now you know that the good guy was slain
By none other than his own brother, Cain
The Good and the Bad
Are like siblings clad
And that's enough to drive parents insane!

The way 
              of Cain 
ever
       leads
                 to pain
anger
so plain
              so great
              to bear
shouts,
hits out
            with
                    lies
denies
kin's
             cries
then
sighs
            ill met
            marked
forever
with
            regret

Let them sleep
Do not let hunters
Into dens creep.
Predator kin predator
Mothers and babes
In your safe harbor
Killed without grace.
Who amongst us
Will let this take place?
It's the man on the throne
With the lobbyists' ear;
Overboard humanity is thrown
As no more dangerous
A predator exists
In our world on this ark than us.

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

Good Riddance Mr Cain

The most prolific animal in our Kingdom is the Red Herring.
You don't need to be a "Sherlock Holmes" to figure that out

A Red Herring is a deliberate attempt to divert attention..................."look over there"

Please help control the Red Herring population today.....You can do your part
by opening up your eyes, and exposing the lies.


"It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry."

Premium Member The Brand of Cain

Politicians present politicians
To manage our manageability 
With the public’s kind permission 
Sweet public, you’re just a facility 
I can’t choose from the offered content 
Can’t be heard by those faces I see 
Telling us what they think is important
You may agree with it or disagree
To them we worth less than nothing 
Them and us don’t belong to each other
The difference remains contrasting
Politician was Cain, not his brother.

For Cain

Every thing's cold 
And I feel no pain
My feelings have been frozen 
Since you went away
God took you 
Into his open arms
And now you've passed on 
You can come to no more harm
I wish that I'd said 
How much I love
But you died before 
I could say that to you
Sometimes I feel 
Your presence or your ghost
And I feel you touch me 
When I miss you the most
You are my angel 
You were my love
And one day we'll be together again 
In Heaven above

Cane of Cain

The cane of Cain
So far away from sugar cane
It only shows the sting of pain   
Just like a pin in the ring of crane                
When rain cease to reign                   
Pain only uses the cane we give to it
On the giver or on others                 
It does that at times with fever like a river          
And it could be forever   
On-till you say it's over and say stop           
Pain keeps hopping 
while we keep hoping and hurting              
You just have to set the time.

Cain

Cain killed Abel:
                    not because Abel is good
                    not because he's jealous 
                    not because he hate his brother
                    not because he's more talented than him
                    not because Abel more muscular than him
                    not because abel is favourite by his parents 
                    not because abel is more handsome than him
Cain killed Abel:
Because he can't take the favour of the Lord from him.
