Genesis 4: 1-15; 25; Psalm 50: 1 and 8, 16-17, 20-21; Mark 8: 11-13

resentful
crestfallen
we give in
to envy
crushing
the life
of our
brother
becoming
a restless
wanderer
of the earth
while
blood
cries out
from the soil
that no longer
bears fruit
asking
for a sign
there is
none
given to
our lack
of faith

Lord, why have we forsaken you?
