Brotherly Graves (By Vladimir Vysotsky)
BROTHERLY  GRAVES

On brotherly graves wooden crosses don’t stand,
No widows weep there, mourning,
On mass graves you see only flowers and
The fire, eternally burning.

The earth here ruffled with stony waves
When mortars were ripping the planet.
There is no personal fate in these graves – 
All fates merged...

Where Is the Brotherly Love
Bombs are falling.
Death is calling.
Where is the brotherly love?

Why do you maim and kill?
Have you had your fill?
Where is your brotherly love?

Where is the mercy of man
for the children of the land?
Where is his brotherly love?

Take the oil and take the soil.
Do their bidding.
Where is...

Brotherly Love
It's hard to imagine
There was ever a time
When we were strangers

Friends?
Not for two spirits who share 
The affinity, admiration and respect
That we share 

Brotherhood!
That's what defines us
Whether it's giving love through tough times
Or giving tough love

A shoulder to lean on
Or shouldering the weight 
When the...

We’ve heard of brothers who didn’t love
but hated their siblings instead.
And there were some who went so far 
as to want a brother dead.

Cain slew Abel, Romulus killed Remus
Jacob tricked his brother Esau.
And brother killed brother in Civil War,
worst the country ever saw.

But this is...

Brotherly Love--Cuchulainn's Crossing of the River
CUCHULAINN'S CROSSING OF THE RIVER  (see BROTHERLY LOVE  part 2)

When warriors chant the songs of war
And toast the friends here and beyond
They hide the pain and dread that stalks--
And guilt that haunts evade those songs

Like Cuchulainn the mighty Celt
Who struts through myth in...

Brotherly Love
That Jonah, the one in the whale, as from God he tried to run
Being tossed from his sail he pretty much thought he was done
Finally after three long days the whale spit him towards shore
And no matter what anyone says this is what happened for...

Brotherly Love
Roses are red Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet and so are you.
Your intelligent wording is unique
I write with you as your Psyduck
I'm a nerd with perfect words and so are you. 
your nerdy book awaits to be written by muah and only muah
Make life less...

Brotherly Love
Curling into him feeling his tiny breaths,
Looking over him to stable his dreams
Wondering when he will talk
Gazing at his tiny fingers
So life like but so small
I am his guide and I will protect
I will guide his ambitions, dreams and questions
An oyster to a pearl enclosed
Warmth...

Brotherly Love
I have this Brother, you may or may not
know,
Who holds onto disappointment & hurt 
and refuses to let go,
What he doesn't seem to understand, is
not everyone thinks like his mind,
And to be different is wonderful for we're all
one of a kind,
I'm not here to sell...

Brotherly Love
Brothers shall be loved 
I am my brothers keeper 
the love of brothers is real. 
God loves the brothers,
as well as all people.
Life of love 
brings brothers together. 
Togetherness is 
authority of love 
as life is toword the
love of brotherly bliss...

Brotherly Christmas Love
Silver streamers and many a purple light
glowing against a splendid tree of white.

The hallway's decked in lavender and blue
conveying warmth to all within it's view.

Will be a special holiday this year-
my long-lost brother will visit me here.

The years have rolled by-sadly we lost touch
but I...

Thank God I Have a Brother
Thank God I have a Brother!
He fixes up the truck,
I sometimes give him money,
Whenever he gets stuck.

(Not just for up and fixin’
The truck – not what I mean
‘f I tried, he wouldn’t take it)
It’s just that times ‘re lean.

His poor bald head works harder,
Than any...
