Heard From The Ground
Two brothers two souls
Given different roles
Abel tends the sheep
Cain labors the ground
For now…Cain is found
Tilling the ground.
Abel desires to bring
His best offering.
Cain’s gift did not suit
God gives him warning
For picking the fruit
Fruit of the ground.
Sin knocks on Cain’s door
Rage gets loose to roar
Causing ill demise
Abel breathes no more
God hears Abel’s cries
Cries of the ground.
Poured blood had spoken
Though Abel lay broken
By brother’s strife
The ground soakin’
Precious blood of life
God heard from the ground.

Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast
thou done? the voice of thy
brother's blood crieth unto
me from the ground.
