There are no sons of Eden
only descendants of The Fruit.
They do their best with what they can
as Able still lies blue.
Long cast out of Paradise
they till the worldly soil
and blame the Lord for all their pains
and all their sinful toil.
Some give thanks for what they've sewn,
conceited, humble-proud,
thinking they're the chosen ones
as Hell still overcrowds.
The Lord made do with what Cain left.
(beggars can't be choosers).
With sword held high they judge by The Fruit
that made each one a loser.

Holy Abel could have killed,
if he'd had a sword.
Holy Abel could have killed,
if he'd loved the Lord.
Holy Abel never thought
to craft a shining blade
intended for his Brother's death.
Instead, was rams he gave.
Only Cain dreamed so dark
to win God's love through force.
Proving that he loved God best,
he killed without remorse.
And when God came
upon the scene
where Abel lay in blood,
and saw his eyes
as soft as lambs
that gazed at crimson suds,
He must have known at once was Cain
that came with fire and sword
to steal the love God freely gave
but sin could not afford.
And even then, God cradled Cain
for the sake of the world to come,
and told him that he loved him best
until his life was done.
