Cain song

Cain song

And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

And He said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
-Genesis 4:8-12



It's been convenient for me 
to be white

tbh, I was afraid of rejection
Sure, I dipped a toe into empathy

but couldn't stay. The rules were too uncertain
the crowd too soft, too kind

I mean, I was only afraid of losing my share
as firstborn I deserve more from the guy upstairs

to be cursed? it's not that bad
I don't mind wandering forever—in fact I'm glad

haven't you noticed?
earth's here for the taking (dog eat dog eat dog)

what do I care if weaklings fear me
