The Case

The case
 
Betrayal of longtime brotherhood
 Hatred ploughed between them
 Fighting ,disgruntled and an air of enemity
 Love is seen in their eyes no more
 Not no more of a God's case
 The ancestors have washed their hands
 Loved ones turn a blind eye
 The case of brothers, raising arms against each other
 
Brother against Brother, standing face to face
 Ready to end each others lives
 Guns cocked , bloody hearts
 Evil roaming everywhere
 A dark day, the sun confused with eclipse
 
Sabotaged plans of success
 Whispers from ear to ear
 The storm is unstoppable
 Its like summer in winters day
 The collision is inevitable
 The line has been drawn
 Let the fighting begin
 The case of a bond of brotherhood
 Destroyed in seconds
 
Once friends now the worst enemies
 Hearts poisoned with hatred for each other
 Willing to fight till the end
 Peace divorced from heart
 This is the case, the case of brothers at war
 Once loving, now enemies
 In revenge , they forget to dig their own graves
 Forever clouded by their hatred
 Nothing good comes up
 Death is the end, a result of the case of love misplaced

† Sounds As A Fleshly Reality These Bittersweet Truths ? Expounded Upon By Their Own Enmities Exploiting Unknown; This Reason's Age ? Surely, 'HEAVEN'S MESSIAH,' Did Not Shed Beauty's Blood Into Her Soil Aneath Everlasting's Purposeful Cross; Whileas This World's Rulers And Holy Angels Watched....Without Knowing, That Chains Would Be Cast, And Broken ? Shall We Drink From This Cup Dear Friend ? Your Painting Is On Mark As Quite Profound; Bravo ˜ Love John
