What did you not see when you thought of me
Blinded by words dividing and conquering dueling at equal pace with same quickness of the drawMinus luck plus curse cerebral fraternity great and damning
Expectations adamant relentless resolve
Synergic power of sibling rivalry depleted by individualism at any cost
Freedom for you conformity for me
Islands unto ourselves deficit of goods and economy
Walled borders heightened fears generational suspicions perpetuated
Blessings of father and mother lived for and died for each of us claiming them in our corner
Wishing them here glad they are not
What would they think we think we know
Twenty years may have changed them
It has us
Battles nuclear warriors gray souls blue survivors
Fresh green tender verdant among ashes beasts at the ready quests determined
Brothers and sisters veteran to damage and casualty
Rage on your losses have been great my failures as much
Your early morning wail in that July hell is fresh Gahena to me
Our gentle giant hewn down how could I ever be for you
Like the greatest man we barely knew
Our lady of virtue creation of joy and mirth precious above all that we valued
She would be there with the hand of wisdom
Cool palm upon our raised brows of bitterness
The look of love sufficient to heal
