I tried, Lord,
I tried.
I protected him as often
and with what
little strength I had.
He punched me
in the stomach
when he thought
the neighbor wasn't watching.
And his eyes said
plain enough
that he could **** me
before mom got home
and I would barricade
myself in my room
til she pulled in the driveway
and act like every
thing was fine.
When dad died
he called the funeral home
and threatened
everybody.
I can't keep him anymore.
Even if
his blood cries to me
from the ground.

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
