brothers

by Anita Dapperens

 

we are brothers, you and I
brothers, in all but blood

we speak the same language,
only needing half a word
to understand the silly jokes
that others never get

we are brothers, you and I
brothers, through and through

I’d go to hell and back for you,
I pick a fight, you clean my mess
ending up with a bruise or two
it doesn’t matter either way

because we’re brothers, you and I
brothers, sworn for life
