You Kill With Your Hate

**You name them your blood **You fight side by side **Against the “Enemy”: **The different in sight Your soldiers against soldiers And Yet You’re all alike Both brothers from Adam and Eve Alive you’ll never come close to one another But you’re friends die side by side You both heal but hate You both suffer in and out of battlefields You're all good But you've all been call bad You're suppose to be fighting the system But the system is beating you up It's gotten you in a Sibling Rivarly We start with name callings: Latino chickens American slave driver Arab terrorists African dust --Convicts-- Then it's fist fights: I got a slap I got a punch I got a kick I’ve gone to jump you --& Pretty soon a tornado-- And we died with weapons: I’ve got a rope I’ve got a brass knuckle I’ve got a knife I’ve got a gun --I’ve got a bomb-- Maybe, it's time you understand That you didn’t kill him With your guns or knives You killed him with your hate **You name them your blood **You died side by side **Against “Your brothers” **The same inside (For the Sibling Rivalary Contest)

Very clever play on words here, Sajdah!! Its strange to call warriors "brothers" or those in the ghetto who shoot each other over dope but call each other "brother" ... great write you've done here and congratulations on your win in Nathan's contest!!

it's a shame. love, hate, happiness, sadness and all the colors of emotions are all cut from the same cloth. to get ride of one is to lesson the others.

Bravo, the moral of this being there is no sweetness in war or revenge... Your words after all apply to both... Even in War it can be one another we are pitted against to fight against the opinions of greed....and still we do not learn what History teaches time and again!

"You both heal but hate / You both suffer in and out of battlefields." Creative description of trauma here. Insightful idea. We are all related. The wars of the world are like sibling rivalries. We continually fight amongst ourselves—it's the fight for progress. The faith of an idea can lead to war. Just like the battle within the self: it's never-ending. Clever Idea.
