Brotherhood

I am surviving in the face of blood
       I can not seem to find the words 
         I need to say as I feel my way
          Through the faves of society
                 Only to change us
             As they laugh with apathy 
             They try to take our purity 
                And our reverence 
          They try to control us with
         Thier demented justifications 
    Of their way of saying they are right
        With their alternative motives 
         That they try so hard to hide
      with our tenacity we must endeavor 
     To audaciously stand up for ourselves
               Stand up for brotherhood 

Summer of 2005

Silent One November 3, 2020 at 2:27 AM Always and thats the beauty of brotherhood... Sally Harris November 4, 2020 at 12:22 AM Yes. And that beauty is always standing up for one another no matter what. Lovingbwhen it is inconvenient. Loving someone in their hardest and lowest times. Loving and giving when it has no benefits for you other than knowing you are doing the right thing
