    Default The Travels of Cain

    Another one of my long narrative poems though this one is aiming more for irony then the other one.

    A scald a burn forever stays
    Though I travel life’s branched maze
    Given to me years ago
    From a sauders inferno glow
    A stone it seems upon my brow
    Is my only comfort now
    As the goats and goatmen bray
    I hear the elders commune say
    This act was done without mercy
    And so none will be on thee
    For thee cast out of home and land
    And bearing the mark of the murderer’s brand

    I headed out to the next city over
    A virgin town near white cliffs of Dover
    They looked down on me and snobbed
    And from me dignity was robbed
    I begged in the streets for no dime
    Though to them I had committed no crime
    I ate of the grass like a sad cow
    They mock and they scorned and how
    But one nice soul forgave me my sin
    And gave me a job and a room to dwell in
    And so I worked as a farmers hand
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    The stone that I bear though bring pain
    And so upon me and the farmer it came
    The village people that at me had scorned
    Thought from the town I need be shorn
    So they came bearing axe and torch
    And the fire burned and I ran out the porch
    But my foot hit something in the grass
    So I fell and wounded yelled something crass
    I look back behind me and in horror saw
    The farmer who’d want me to call him paw
    So I stood up and from the mob ran
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    Now into a city I scrambled to hide
    I thought that the village had follow behind
    A sought out the covens where dark people dwell
    Where all of wretched went when they fell
    The beaten the rotten were my kind of folk
    And with a tankard I’d sit and tell jokes
    Not a man cared about my head-stone
    Not even the lawman with two broken bones
    But something was wrong something was sour
    I noticed some men who made peasants cower
    And when annoy struck them with a hand
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    These ganger men were sellers I learned
    And profited from the suffering of spurned
    Men and spurned women and others like me
    By selling them drugs at astronomical fees
    I told the lawman with two broken bones
    But he ignored it and turned to the phone
    I don’t know who he called but I have a clue
    Those stoneless gangster came to break me in two
    They beat me and bashed my stone-marked head
    They kicked me around and left me for dead
    I crawled, legs broken, by arm and hand
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    I lived off of garbage and half-rotten bread
    Pound after pound in recovery was shed
    I was a bone bag and nothing more
    But soon my legs healed and I left for
    A new land a new place somewhere to live
    That wouldn’t take what I don’t have to give
    Went to a castle and begged to their lord
    I said I would work for mere room and board
    He thought for a moment and nodded ascent
    Though I saw not his grin as away I sent
    And how he stroked is jewel encrusted hand
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    I worked hard as I could in fields the grew stones
    And every night I exhausted and cold to the bone
    But then a man came whose name was Jerek
    He said taxes was what he had come to collect
    Sold all I had to the merchants sweet cackle
    But not enough was and I was given the shackle
    I shook in my soles it was visible seen
    From malnutrition or fear I don’t which it had been
    I was locked in the dungeon and lived in the dark
    And their I was prayed on by the madness shark
    I was beat sometimes till I was less of a man
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    Then they kicked me out into the dust
    With a hole covered shirt and a knife made of rust
    And then into the desert I scuffled along
    Thought to avoid people in this I was wrong
    But I did find a pond a lonely oasis
    Here I plan to live my new long life in stasis
    A drank from the water as clear as the air
    And for two weeks I knew no despair
    But nothing good can last for a man of the stone
    And sadly this fact was soon driven home
    Though where that home is I won’t know nor can
    While I am bearing the murderer’s brand

    These nomadic raiders used that pond for a stop
    They found me their and now the pond was a shop
    And one stop store the for the flesh merchant ilk
    Ah flesh that material more precious then silk
    Tied by my hands I was dragged through the sands
    And my back turned red from scrapes in bands
    Till a tent made market could be seen on the dunes
    And on a near by sign was written fourteen runes
    “Abandon all hope” and was not long till I did
    Me barely twenty no more then a kid
    My life was a stone marked coin from the sands
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    I was sold to the owner of a factory
    Whose workshop was located over the seas
    Put in a ship with no food to call mine
    A devoured for rats their taste was sublime
    My shackles they burned and were heavy as hell
    Sometimes they pull me down and I fell
    The sailors would mock me through a tiny slit
    No way to fight back I could merely sit
    Dragging and puking and bang my stoned head
    By the time I was ashore I wished I was dead
    Hell I would find was not far from my hand
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    I worked under shackle in an industrial furnace
    My brief respites in bed were a carnal bliss
    My torments stared from non-stone-bearing face
    As though I were not one of the human race
    My will wasn’t broken though I didn’t have hope
    I thought every nights and worked on my ropes
    And when shackles were broken I fled
    Into the jungle where they took me for dead
    I came to a village where they knew not my stone
    And here I thought maybe I had a knew home
    But for me being there I knew they were damned
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    I was I happy then and life was a twirl
    In that doomed village I had met a girl
    She soft and fair had helped me to start
    The new life I would lead and had won my heart
    I joined the militia and I learned how to fight
    To protect those I love from the bandits fires bright
    Even though I had learned years ago how to kill
    Protecting is something I am learning still
    My siren and cherub would cook for me at night
    When I was too tired or taken by blight
    For a year I spent my time in that land
    While I was bearing the murderer’s brand

    One day I was hiking out in the woods
    I thought I heard and I though that I could
    Swear it was battle or more precisely a slaughter
    My heart fast sunk and my mind faltered
    Then I went in to run and dashed though the trees
    In my haste my form made death breeze
    A glow in the distance beckoned me on
    A arrived to see the town ‘cept for ashes gone
    They had been taken by men who I knew had no stones
    Who I knew never would and would never atone
    I walked into the woods with my sword in my hand
    Bearing aloft my murderer’s brand

    That is how I came to find myself here
    The goats are braying and my love no where near
    And all that have to say has been said
    Bout the life that I’ve had and the mark on my head
    I don’t know if I will once again slay
    Or if my fear will again bring me to stay
    Those unmarked no-stone-bearing bastards
    Have left me a sword and a heart made of plaster
    I look to ultimate stone the full moon
    The stone marked man inside he will swoon
    me be happy? No matter what I do I can’t
    As long as I’m bearing the murderer’s brand

    The tragedy of life comes not from pain, despair, sorrow, or even death; but the constant annihilating amnesia that begs us to forget we live.
