With life's breathe seeded, came ascent of man
Who lived with trees before the plains of grass
Then crossed the continents, to shores of sand
With warm skins of those killed, so he could last
For millennium's years she never tired
And nourished life's growth with food allowed
Then brothers from her garden fought life's fire
One murdered the other, for right to plow
The death of Able became man's doomed fate
As forest homes decayed new fields now tilled
With Eden lost, man now filled his own plate
To secure his fields, built stone castles to kill
The brother Cain brought lands new farmers
And left Eden's hunters fields of dried bones
That quench the thirsty armies, nightly guard
And gave birth to war, no Godly gravestone
Bold armies have formed to protect gold's purse
And weapons forged to bleed the innocent
As blood now flows from ancient lands dispersed
It consumes flesh from her creations sent
And asks, had Able won the duel of man
Still in Garden of Eden may we dine
But, that has passed , now cities are a death
That have grown all over earth like a vine
Shall she wash with faith humanities face
With tears cold from time beyond treasured birth
And soothe the failing heart of man disgraced
To whom the world was given and its worth
cassie I wrote it in stanzas but when putting it in yahoo just went the other way
should have kept it as written thanks, and with me never fear saying
something constructive, as I'm still learning, thank you
