Brotherly Dignity

My brother, you as well as I know That I should have wished you well long ago Nevertheless I wish you well now As I make to wishing wellness my vow We brought each other down at our own expense So myopic was our lense We each saw only what was one's own Until our doors were knocked and banged by others' groans Therefore I wish you rain and I wish you dew May God give you a robe and turban white and new Be the walking dignity of we your kinsmen And may we resemble gloriously as brethren For the flourishing of one and another and another Will breed praises to God whenever we'll gather May it proliferate throughout the nation That the peoples may draw from us citation And when it's all done and unabated So will it be to the sons an inheritance slated So soaking will Godliness be to our name That repute will be more than fame K. Muitherero.
