Cain's Invention Poem by Randy McClave

Cain killed Abel with a rock
It wasn't with his fist or with a sandal or a sock,
But, he didn't kill his parents Adam and Eve
But, then God marked Cain and told him to leave.

Cain never knew how to murder
He was a farmer, his brother was the herder,
He didn't use his hands to strangle his brother Cain
Nor did he use vegetables or his wheat or grain.

Cain never used a turnip or a yam
Or the instrument Abel had used to sacrifice his lamb,
Maybe Cain had listened to the serpent
Then Cain became murder's first servant.

Cain had found a weapon that he knew would kill
So, his brother's life he did happily steal,
If Abel had knew of the scheme and did run
Then Cain would had then, had invented the gun.
