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
