We All Need Each Other
Blood is thicker than oil and the bubbles in the water when it boils.
My blood is loyal, so is my water and my oil; water is thicker than the air and wind.
They all serve their purpose, and one couldn’t survive without the other in the end.
Lies are thinner than the truth, but the truth, my blood isn’t thicker than sweat-n-
tears, thick rich blood that’s all it is.
Without love or these other key elements, it could never live the thickness of blood
that is.
A family member can become
A stranger and a stranger can
Become a family member, blood-n-water
Water-n-blood, thick or thin, we all need
Each other to survive in the end.
