Fons Belli: Part 1
First MurderThe fruits of Cain on earth
proved fruitless as an offering:
Lord, this is the best from fields of corn.
Alas, dear Cain, thy gift is best forlorn.
Abel's precious lamb surpassed the chaff,
had cost him not just liberty but life,
or was it that their transverse wives
unequal in beauty stature, value, worth
caused one to live in shame
the other one with famous name
who clubbed his twin to death
or was it enviously with a knife?
Whether two stones slamming
sandwiched crushing brother's head
as Kabil did Habil, different scene instead.
No matter, Cain lives on and Abel's dead
while war and pestilence await ahead.
