Why Brother

Why brother, but why? Why do you cause me So much heartache, rigor and pain? Why the Xenophobia and hate? Why brother? When I approach you, With contrition, you retreat like a stranded snail When I smile at you You sneer at me When I laugh With You You jeer at me Why brother? When I look in your eyes I capture; see hate, anger, Disdain, dread and Xenophobia When your lips move I hear you hiss, curse and swear When I pat you on your shoulder I see you shrug Why brother, but why? When we hug I feel your arrhythmia, repulse When you sing I hear your agony When you dance, I see your nakedness, helplessness and powerlessness Why brother, but why?
