CAIN AND ABEL

Cain, where is your brother Abel

do you still play hide and seek

in the field

I remember when you were little you left him

to come home alone

and you always ate up

the bigger part of the loaf

Cain, where is your brother Abel

I heard someone saw

a man lying down

and then the shriek of an owl

announcend the death

Cain, whosе is the blood on your shirt

where did you bury your brother´s bones

don’t you know

you cannot kill without staining yourself

thy brother’s blood

cries unto God from the earth

by committing the first murder

and giving the idea to

legions of followers will you

have the courage to look

up to heaven with clear eyes
