Brother

Life is just #, you and I know both know it
Whatever we think, we're all swimming in it
Whatever we do, whatever we say
Words in the wind, whatever that may

Whatever will be, whatever will come
There's no use in hiding, according to some
I refuse to be scared, I refuse to hide
Stone cold assassin, a gun not for hire

Get out of my way and leave me alone
I ain't no dog and I don't need no bone
I sit here singing the same old song

If anyone knows, or anyone cares
Please can you tell me, which way we fare
I've lost my place and I've lost the time
Any which way's ok, I have a dime

The reason is gone, the purpose is faded
I feel so old and I feel so jaded
That still doesn't mean that I am so screwed
Till the next time, that I meet you

Get out of my way and leave me alone
I ain't no dog and I don't need no bone
I sit here singing the same old song

The haze has ascended and the mist has dispersed
Suddenly life doesn't feel so damn cursed
I found a reason to keep on going
It's you my brother, I keep on rowing

The way back home isn't always easy to find
Sometimes I go forward, sometimes behind
Eventually we'll meet in the grove of selves
I hope to see you when all is levelled

Get out of my way and leave me alone
I ain't no dog and I don't need no bone
I sit here singing this same old song

Thank you!

I needed that. I'm not a poetic person, and generally do not have a charmed life- so the wording was awesome to me.
Star & flag.

Thank you. My brother has lung cancer and this song/poem came from the heart. (We don't really get on too well, circumstance and environment, but he's still my brother and I love him.) I felt a little embarrassed to put this on ATS but where else would I post it? This is my only forum.

Hello, Maintenance? Hi, LightSpeedDriver here, seventh level. Please send a technician down here as soon as you can, there's something wrong with my meters...

I think a recently banned member walked round here with some Fukushima sea-water or something. All readings are off the charts, definitely not the same thread I left behind. Thanks guys!
