My brothers Blood

My brother’s blood bought this land
He did fight and kill with his teenage hands

He was too young and my mother did warn in a deathly tone
‘This is not like toy soldiers he played at home’

‘He may not return to his family again
They may not find him this is probably the end’

I cried each day he was away
And when the news did come I was still blown astray

Despite what my mother did tell me
I was never prepared for the full story

They told me he had gone to save one of his mates
When another man did shoot him from enemy gates

My brother was trying to save a friend
And his loyally did bring him to the end

I will never see his smiling face again
And one thing I will regret is loosing faith in men

I did not believe anyone would kill my brother
Despite all the warning and tears of my mother

I will think of him each day
And every time I will pray his name

I will live my life for my dear brother
His loyalty did cost his life I should have seen the prophesy
However even till the end and beyond he did live out his life philosophy

I shall live my life through my brother
And I will live in love for one another
I will do all I can to help the world

But forever I hate war
I wish it was no more

Men will fight for anything
Land, women, oil, money and precious things

What they do not realise is what the world needs
Is more people like my brother
And the life I now lead

Its for my brother
And his life was not a waste
He lived on this earth with a lot of grace

I love my brother for ever more
And I thank him for his lesson
Although he did not see it through the war

He saved his mate
And was shot from an enemy gate
And now his friend
Will live his life till the end

No more fighting for the life my brother did save
His mate is now spreading the love my brother gave

I’m happy for my brother and miss him with all my heart
But he did change many men
And they made a new start

So make some friends
and spread the love
so my brother's blood
was not wasted

Think of him and what he did show
live your life with love
and never let go

Forget about war and fighting and hate and always remember what my brother did for a mate.
