A Stream of Nonsense

I passed a man or rather strolled on by, I said "Hey brother" but he just rolled his eyes. He said "I ain't your brother" and he didn't see, That I didn't quite mean it literally. I guess this was something he didn't understand, And I kindly explained that I meant it as in "Brotherhood of Man" Now I know my fashion and speak may be a little outdated, But are these thoughts really so antiquated? For it's these little things, runs my theory, That filters up from communities, into entire countries. Now you may think that this is a little naive, But it is all I can do in this climate of war, madness and greed. I hope that can you forgive me, If this rhyme and meter aren't sleek, But I've just woken up after a 16 hour sleep. And before that I couldn't sleep, not even a peep. And it's precisely these kinds of things, That have kept me up all week.
