The Scorn of Cain
East of Eden we still painfully churn
where belief is earliest bloodshed's birth
and every wicked man shall have his turn
to spill his rage upon the wretched earth.

From outer realms there can only come sin
and for fear and hatred of all unknown
we'll slay the unspoken laws from...

Memorial For Cain
  'They' tell me, now,
A husky-mix dog won't stay.
Tie 'em up, pen 'em,
Or the neighbor's complain.
So, I didn't even Look for another Cain.

But let me tell you, 
My Cain dog was Husky.
Silver and grey and a
'from the toenails' growl...
But HE stayed, no chains.

Small town,...

Ghost of Cain
Replace this heart of soiled sedition.
This junkyard filled with ugly treason.
Forgive, o Lord, embattled reason, 
at the turnpike,  chosen left ...off course.
His smoke went up with no remorse,
where my jealous hate, my brother slain,
branded brow the mark of Cain.

Now thoughts are choked by desert...

Cain and Abel of September 11th
On September 11th, 
In the early morning, 
When my train stopped 
In the New Jersey fields,
I saw the Twin Towers.
Painted by sunrays
Into a golden tone, they were 
Climbing the New York City's
Peaceful blue sky.
Two magnificent monuments 
To able human minds.

On the wings of terror,
Propelled by...

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...

Premium Member With Jesus, No Mark of Cain
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...

I speak to you from shadows of life after death
An exiled Black Heart, eldest brother of Seth
I remember living life ( "I remember my Wife")
Recollections of my creation of devastating strife 

Reminiscing my youth, I lied, I cheated, ones I cherished

Memories of ones I loved,...

Premium Member The Crime and Curse of Cain
God, you said to offer a lamb,
but your wish puts me in a jam.
Why kill a lamb? I am no brute,
I’ll sacrifice instead some fruit.

Like Lucifer in heaven on high,
you view me with an evil eye.
His prideful heart and selfish will
in time your sulking soul...

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...

Cain & Abel
Adam & Eve had Cain
then they were blessed
with Abel, two sons.
 
Abel was the herdsman
while Cain was a farmer
Cain bringing an offering to the Lord
of the fruits of the ground;
Abel, meanwhile, gave Him
the firstborn of his flocks.
 
The Lord was touched by Abel
his offering acceptable,
while...

Premium Member Cain's Exile of Inherent Beingness
Mark

The earth turns its face from you
as if ashamed. You
who tilled the soil, now marked
by what the soil received.
Your brother's blood—
how it murmurs, how it screams.
Deafness would be a mercy.

Wanderer

At Babel, you watch them build
their tongues a discordance of hope.
You know better.
The tower falls. Always,...

Premium Member There Are No Sons of Eden
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...
