Brothers and Others

Companionship and confirmation

Mutual discovery and exploration of the unknowable

Contemplation of the mysteries

Jousting intellect

Peeling away layers of vulnerability

Whisper of tears

Also there is rivalry, pain and anger

But always love lifting one another

Then there is the other

Where we see only distance and discord

Suspicion and fear

A whiff of condescension

Why can they not see

The err of their faulty ways

Misguided fears and prejudice

Or simply living an unfathomable life

Of bad decisions and misery

Where lies the bridge from brothers to others

The breaking down of walls

Artificial barriers that impede progress

For working together and comprehending

Oneness and interconnectedness that

Nature shows is the only truth
