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
Love this use of Gensis 4:8! - doe_eyez
