To
Eve were born Abel and Cain,

Sons,
by seed, divided in twain.

Cain,
the elder, was a man of the fields.

Abel,
the younger, to the call of a shepherd’s life yields.

Cain
did offer works of himself to save.

Abel
saw need for the sacrifice God gave.

Cain
was rejected; man’s works come to naught.

Abel,
accepted for the works that God wrought.

Then
the dragon beginning a sortie in war,

Sent
Cain to uproot God’s seed and more.

Alone
in the field, Abel was slain.

In
some secret tomb, his body was lain.

Denying
it all, “Am I keeper of my brother?” sneered Cain.

But
before God, all deeds past and present were laid plain.

“Unto
me, your brother’s blood cries.

Louder
it is, than your foolish lies.”

The
first human death on all of the earth,

Showed
how quickly man sinks into sin’s curse.

Satan,
through this, sought to kill the seed’s line,

But
God had a third child, Seth, in mind.
