Missing brother

The brother who once drank and dined with us Now orders for swords to slay us He allowed himself to be brainwashed By the men whose skins are rarely scorched For a few shillings, he has been purchased Purchased morally, mentally , I fear even spiritually Because his morals and emotions are tarnished Tarnished and farmished from endlessly trying to please Please the men who delight in the gnashing of our teeth Running unending errands has periodically calloused his feet The feet that once moved to rhythms of the drum we beat The brother that never seized to dream , has now achieved all he craved but instead of this making our faces beam rather stressing us out ,making us bleed , forcing us to flee. Remember brother , we never hate , we still know That one day , the venom injected in you , will cease to flow, Then you know, you become keen , on finding your way home Oh our , far gone , missing.
