My Brother

MY BROTHER 

My Brother 
as you are 
I am half-dead 
Blind in one eye I can`t see out of the other 
I must not hate my brother 
but how can i love you 
as you are 
beating me on my face 
leaving no trace of love 
as you erase me 
as you are 
smiling death heads grin 
enjoying your power 
life over life 
life over death 
leather gloves tatooeing 
hurting 
beating 
gloating 
enjoying.......these words 
should never be linked to fighting 
what a monster 
MY BROTHER
