To My Brother Next Door.

Contributed by FRANCO on Wednesday, 21st June 2006 @ 12:11:36 PM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems




O, brother - worldly glitter veiled thy vision
dumped thee into the gully of egoistic passion
’nd posed thyself above the nation, failed to
render thy salutation.

Tender gushing warm blood sprang to reach
the sky and above, to scale the ranges of mighty pinnacles
unbound energy of juvenile mind drifted blindly
over the rocking reckless waters of selfish ocean.

Along the futile journey of life- have thee lost thy purpose
as a son of the Lord’s nation, and let the foes feast upon thy emotions,
yet fasten into your worldly bottle of isolation, turned deaf,
and blind to thy men’s longing squeal of desperation?

Youthful cozy blood of our generation, clinch thy
cohesive hands to erect a wall of unification, let not
the foes penetrate to molest thy divine obsession, (Humanity)
and be not blindfolded by creed nor religion.

United we shall strive, gladly cheer over the toiled sweat
soaked fruit, neighbors we shall share; “snatched” we demur to bear.
(FRANCO)

passions abound..throughout franco..
..from contempt in the 1st..
to, a sort of peace offering and promise of better things to come, in the 4th..
and the finale, (your couplet) ..such conviction about the future.. written as if, a thing of the past-
you are a visionary-

fine work..

Peace forever a prayer in my heart...for we know not what suffering man has created in the name of the masters love. May we be forgiven for such that we have created. Thank you
