To my brother who seems not to understand how much his family cares. Bless you brother!
The olive branch which I extended peacefully
was burned and thrown back coldly, recklessly.
The hand of friendship that I once extended
was answered with a middle finger upended.
Words of harmony and those words of cheer
caused you to shove more cotton in each ear.
Every motion made to resolve our animosity
you drowned bound and gagged in hate's sea.
We were friends, but somehow feelings changed
and bitterness, some slight has altered, deranged.
There you are and here I am at odds with each other
differences should not exist between sister and brother.
