Notes About The Poem

- My Brother Stole My Halloween Candy -

Listen this is no comedy
                                   - you stole all my candy
                          I know how much younger my brother is
                                      ... love and tolerance
                             Sometimes it requires confrontation,
                                  get out frustration and anger
                                         Forgiveness or not
                               Does he deserve to be forgiven?
                                         Right now I feel :
                                                angry,
                                        very disappointed,
                                          low blood sugar,
                                           and are tired
                                  Just wait ... until Saturday
                                            Payback time
