First First Degree Murder Poem by Ima Ryma

'Am I my brother's keeper? ' said
Cain to God after Cain did sin
By killing brother Abel dead,
And Cain's fields, Abel's blood soaked in.
God was not pleased and said He heard
Abel's blood cry out from the ground.
So God had to give Cain the word,
Restless wanderer, he'd be bound.
Cain was worried he might be killed,
So God did put a mark on Cain.
Cain got a free pass so God willed.
Maybe God thought that was humane.

This judgement from God - some do scoff.
First degree murder - Cain got off.
