suspended have we been
  since our brother Qabil (Cain)
   the dastardly deed did do
    between the vicissitude scales
     of war and peace
      a sinful legacy from him
       bequeathed to us unwittingly
        encouraging some to murder
         and some to peace attain
          misguided s/he who knows not
           this historical fact
            while riding thru life
             on steeds of love and hate
              struggle therefore daily for peace
               prepare diligently for war
                on the battlefield of patience
                 to capture the prize
                  of a balanced life
                   before are answered
                    the question marks
                     about the unseen life
                      in heaven or hell to abide
Abu Hassan, 2001
