Cain and Abel

By megaprime81

When it came
To pleasing God,
Cain wasn't Abel
When it came
To loving God,
Abel was
Willing and able
Forever was Cain
Cast out
For murdering
His brother
Cain just couldn't get
That God is not
To be mocked
Abel was a symbol
Of the shepherd
Of His flock
In a way,
Cain was Goofus
And Abel was Gallant
Cain was the type
To murder
And mock
Did Cain
Learn his lesson?
For his life
Was he cursed
Because he
Ignored God's
Right hand
And dwelt
On the left
So he burns
Eternally to be damned
Whilst Abel is in Heaven
With God's love
At His command

Until today I could not find my place. Sometimes Cain others time Abel . Very well written Poet.
