This is a poem I wrote in 2004. It is depicting the sacrifices made by Cain and Abel. It makes me think about what type of sacrifice are we presenting to the Lord? Romans 12:1 tells us to present ourselves as a Living Sacrifice, but what determines if our sacrifice is acceptable? It's all about our heart.
Night of Sacrifice
Frozen Moon beams in
the sky,
Tonight’s the night
of sacrifice.
Two brothers born of
sin,
Two brothers burdened
by the Curse of Men.
Greed corrupted a
sacrifice,
For a deceitful heart
will not suffice.
The other offering
was pure of heart,
And the sinful nature
would soon depart.
Jealousy overcame the
innocence,
A brother approached
with devious intent.
Jealousy grasped
innocence breath,
Entangling vine of
strangulated death.
Frozen Moon beams in
the sky,
Death betrayed by
sacrifice.
Two brothers of Vanity
Fair,
One was lost by a
sinner’s prayer.
