Tender And Loving Heart Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Tender And Loving Heart

Tender and loving heart
whose part?
Just human heart
originally
of God and man himself
but Cain came and went,
he declared war on softhearted Abel,
without signs
or lines,
Cain killed Abel abruptly
God's wrath most deeply hurt,
lived free without worries about daily work
and no other obstacles
and still killed
his brother?
by jealousy and greed
ungratefulness!
stupid blindness!

God's love forever ruined
by this act
in the love nest of humanity,
how stupid was that?

God was angry and sent him away
to the land of Nod,
east of Eden
but this family is so cursed
God sends the flood
cherished the new generation,
with Noah at the top,
what we sow,
we must also reap

Tender and loving heart
whose heart?
God's and our human heart,
originally
the man was sinless,
lived free in full love and happiness,

why couldn't the first humans be obedient?
Adam, Eve and Cain had ruined it,
for the rest
of humanity
