Cain & Abel & Ishmael & Isaac & Esau & Jacob & Today



Acrid vestige
Smoke cloaked carnage

Hell’s residue remarks the ruins
Eyes blink open to reality
Souls burned, broken, buried, blown to acuity

Ages’ cinders
Never blow clean
Death-soaked soil germinates its filthy seed


Divided from the first jealousy
Until the final trump
Shocked streets in a
Time without pity.
