The Blood We Share
 
 

brothers, i come before you
with the knowledge
of love and war
and demand we conquer
the former and rescue
our flesh 
from the false gods
of fire.

brothers, behold the coming day
the day of ultimate choice
between the blood we share
and the blood we spill.

there is a city
yet to be built on which
the laws of the land
conspire to commit
numbers and numbers
of acts of kindness.
