Abraham’s Fault Line

Cursed wife
I cursed in strife
Yet could not make
A mother

Fertile maid
In bed we laid
Yet not to love
Each other

Father shun
Thine firstborn son
That I may take
Another

Unto thee
Take mercifully
Ishmael
For his brother

it's definitely an original...
thanks for the positive feedback, i know sometimes biblical imagery comes on too strong for our young generation to handle!
