Cain's Mistake

O Cain, what have thou done to thy brother
Couldn’t thee have done something nice, rather
Ask forgiveness, for thou have sinned greatly
For thee killed thy darling brother, lately
Fear not, for none shall harm thee due to thy brand
So roam from land to land, doing God’s demand
Repent, repent, O Cain, killer of man
For thou mother and father mourn thy great plan
And thy must awash thyself and be like a dove
For important is pleasing the God above
'cause this act is not sound for thee
As thy brother's blood cries out to me
So ask the great creator what to do, Cain
Do what he says, and from sin do refrain
