Hands of Cain

Jabberwocky

There are things in life that give power
There are things in life that give pain
There are things in life that when over
We can know not the beauty of again.
Much beauty is innocence not knowing
The truth of things we learn with wretched gain
We take our ignorance abroad out walking
And come late home with the bloody hands of Cain.

    So true when we innocently place our heads upon the block of life.
