Good grief, one soldier told another
Our foe’s no different than our brothers
Oh, yes he is, the other retorted
The cause he fights for is distorted
I beg to differ, countered soldier the

BROTHERLY RIVAL
BROTHERLY RIVAL
Boldly, brothers battle for bragging rights
Nigeria and Ghana, neighbors in night
Gigantic egos clash, a game of might
Healthy rivalry, or so it's in sight.4
Music, movies, memorable moments;
These brothers bit-in on each other's boats.
Nimble Nigerians navigate noble norms,
Ghanaians gaze, green with envy's forms8
Raucous rivalry reigns, a roaring storm
Eager eagles eye each other's form
Naija ninjas, the

Brother Keven
Brother Keven
It is cool having a brother who could pass for a famous Hollywood actor. He never did take his good looks to Hollywood and I'm sure his wife is glad of it.
Keven is fun to hang out with, his smile and laugh say as much, just ask his son.
Keven is notorious for telling a

Brotherly Love
Who else?
Who else would care for you my brother, if not out of love we care for each other.
Who else would it be?
An old friend?
Or someone I fail to see.
Is it someone who knocked on your door?
Or is it an x lover that you once knew before?
Do you remember how we grew up together?
Do

Brotherly Dignity
My brother, you as well as I know
That I should have wished you well long ago
Nevertheless I wish you well now
As I make to wishing wellness my vow
We brought each other down at our own expense
So myopic was our lense
We each saw only what was one's own
Until our doors were knocked and banged by others'

Taking Time
We were sent to be our brother’s keeper,
To be there and know each other deeper.
May we live to anxiously fill each other’s needs,
And remember the ones, in very deed.
To put others before ourselves, and serve the least of these,
Is to live with true freedom in our hearts, pleasing deity.
May we live to love and share

Brotherly Love
Everyone had a sister or brother
The forever faithful friend
Who shares your heart and blood
Your hopes and dreams
Even your thoughts!
Except me
There would be no sibling for me
No familial relation to hold
To follow around or feel
Tagging at my barefoot heals
There would never be the sounds
Of laughter and love
Beneath cotton sheets
Covering smiles and giggles
From two who were

Forgiven
I have one life to live, he said
For which my soul is driven
No lesser man can stay in bed
For naught, and be forgiven
"But what of those, who living hard
Should beg, and mercy find
Should those who draw the losing card
Be forced to stay behind? "
The business man, can do much more
Then meddle by his meat
The progress

Brotherly Bummer Plods Along His Staid Usual Humdrum Life Part One
Methinks lame excuses poorly explain
absent presence gnosh hoe wing up to
acknowledge our papa's ninetieth orbit
around sun, nor dearly beloved eldest
commencement successfully, modestly,
honestly (applying her smarts) as freshly
minted (sage) University of Pennsylvania
graduate, now where webbed wide world
avails untold opportunities to make positive
accomplishments, this papa never set
similar goals for himself, he languished
leaving untested latent abilities, now glum,

Brotherly
His face, deeply imprinted from youth
he and I, two souls knit by our pasts
oh so different, yet brotherly are we.
How we laugh, recalling our adventures
his Laurel foibles to my Hardy ways.
Familiar as wearing well worn coats
our voices and friendly pats resonate
two intrinsic souls woven together, forever.
