Family fracture

Broken bond 💔

By Emem IniPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

A bond of brotherhood, now broken and worn A call to friends, a hurtful form Of revenge and anger, a path I've chose To harm my own flesh, a heavy toll it shows My brother's wrongs, a justification I made But violence breeds violence, a cycle displayed Friends turned against kin, a painful sight A family torn apart, by my own hand's might A choice I made, in anger's frown Wishing for peace, and a chance to mend A bond of brotherhood, before it ends.

A brother's betrayal, a bond broken true His wrongs against me, forever shining through I called upon my friends, to stand by my side Together we confronted, his wicked pride No regrets, I feel, for taking a stand Against the harm, he held in his hand My friends and I, a united front we made Against the toxic bond, that had long been frayed Some may say, I took the wrong path But for me, it was justice, at last No apologies, for protecting my name From the brother, who brought only shame.

A brother's darkness, a heart of stone Beats down our father, leaves him alone Steals from his pockets, and breaks his trust A toxic shadow, that haunts our dust

I called upon my friends, to stand tall and strong To protect our father, where I belonged Together we confronted, the brother's might And fought for what's right, in the dark of night No regrets, I feel, for taking a stand Against the one, who held a cruel hand Our father's safety, my topmost guide I'd do it again, to keep him safe inside The brother's ways, a poison to our name I'll rise against, his violent claim to fame For family is love, and love is what we need Not the brother's greed, that brings only creed.
