Apocryphal Valentine

Was Abel not his brother's keeper
Was he not able to calm him down
Wasn't his goodness not responsible
In part for his brother's enmity
Why had he offended him 
Laughing at his silly drawings
Rejection leading to rejection
Who will have the upper hand
Cain had left to pursue his passions
It was Abel who went after him
And found him at last living alone
By the sea building another boat
They fought then and died together
In one another's arms
