My Lost Brother by Soskid(m): 6:40pm On Aug 21, 2013
Nairalanders, please I will appreciate your comments, criticisms and corrections.
Thanks in anticipation!




Brain plants dotted the west

The east peopled by men swimming in ideas

The north tenanted by field dwellers

All speak not in transformation but in retrogression

We hemorrhage our sense of threading veracious routes

Our blood saturated in hatred

Our brothers we appreciate as outlanders

Our common enemies we treat as gods

Our food we dish to foes

I'm depressed not because death awaits me

But for I will be killed by the bomb planted by my brother

I'm starving not for we have not food

But for my brother nourishes the enemies with our sustenance

Who will explain to my brother?

That his sword is not meant for my neck

That my death will do him no good

That only our collective effort can uproot the hatred tree

That we are both in anguish for he fails to acknowledge me as his brother.

Soskid
