Cain and Abel — A Poem
Cain and Abel
In the Bible, you’ll find this fable.
Of the first two boys, Cain and Abel.
While Adam was pushing the earth.
His wife Eve was giving birth.
Life wasn’t easy living on the plain.
Growing crops and raising Cain.
After the first boy, Eve had another.
Cain got a sibling, Abel, his brother.
Cain was a farmer of the land.
He killed the fields by plow and hand.
Abel cared for the livestock.
Their food supply was kept in stock.
God accepted Abel’s humble gift.
Cain was rejected, causing a rift.
Though he brought food to the table.
Cain tried, but he just wasn’t Abel.
He decided to kill his brother.
Would he be better with another?
When God saw what Cain had done.
He sent that killer on the run.
But no one was allowed to hurt Cain.
Even though he caused much pain.
Somehow, Cain found a wife.
And got on with his wife.
Cain passed on his bad blood.
But his descendants died in the flood.
Seth was Adam and Eve’s third son.
His descendants included most everyone.
