Cain
in Genre - Hope PH 2023(Poems) Poems by Dr. Khalil Ailabouni

Oh Cain, where is your brother?

A voice shouting burningly doubting

Cain oh Cain, where is your brother?

Cain, listen, for the call is shaking

seekers of vengeance calling upon you

Did Cain kill him? Say it crying

and without any excuse, please

S ay it and live the rest of your life regretting

Between the wicked and the lonely

Cain, have you forgotten that Abel is your brother?

Despite what your hands have done, your father’s son ?

You are his son and your brother also his son

who seduced you to kill him?

Abel walked to heaven and his eyes are

looking towards you with no doubts

His hands did not rise against you even in defense

with his life, if you wish, he would have redeemed you

His blood makes you deeply remorseful

so hear his spilled blood spurting

To this day you still kill brothers

who from for sins of war tried to stop you

But you stired up the flames of wars arrogantly

as life has not changed your behavior

Cain, you are the worst of our tyrants today

and the tyrants over their affairs empowered you

The murderer, the murdered, are also our brothers

and after all I am still your brother

I am Abel, and I am still alive

I look to you and I call on you for peace and forgiveness

let us restore to the earth after the absence of peace

on my behalf and for your beloved brother’s behalf

Forgiveness is a Creator’s blessing to us

and the Arabs were always the lords of grace

Go back, my brother Cain, and know that they

have falsly fabricated facts about me

And let us build peace and its glory on earth

So all the people of the earth are a family

No religion or ideology separates us

the divider between us must be left behind

This is the UAE of brotherhood and tolerance

and to peace and its glory it calls you
