aesop says

endless day, black as cain
i ain't ever able
the lights went out, choked him to the ground
that followed the fable

but Aesop says, 'we've all been left for dead'
the horse has left the stable
Aesop fed his children bitter bread
scraps upon the table

the first wise man rides his horse upon the land
and eyes it with compassion
and the next wise man, with a fancy caravan
the latest country fashion

cain unstuck, a comic suction cup
miraculous shit happens
an octopus that bleeds into the rough
with adam ever rapping

shades of gray, recede into the day
as cain recites to abel
the final verse and chapter to the play
a never ending fable

but Aesop says, 'we've all been left for dead'
the horse has left the stable
Aesop fed his children bitter bread
scraps upon the table

a third wise man rides far into the sand
they don't like his attitude
a fourth wise man pitches pennies through the land
he is a bastard through and through
