I know that you will track me here
By this stream where my words freely flow
So I thought I should perhaps openly greet you
With a few things you really should know.
I will not be the one to censor
Or hold back on the things to be said
To please you and your vision of brotherhood
To be honest I'd rather be dead.
Is your pointless, sad life now so empty
That you feel that you must infest mine
Where despite decades of torment unloaded
Your target is still doing just fine.
I remember a time from the dark side
When my future was held in your care
How you failed me then without reason
Your inadequacy failing each prayer.
You might know that I once loved you dearly
May now sense that endearment has gone
But if you doubt in your heart that I'm bothered
Then you really could not be more wrong.
Your existence is wholly annoyance
And your impact irrelevant now
Of the two only one of us blossomed
Not difficult now to see how.
From the start you lacked courage and vision
Worked with tools from a trembling hand
And despite all your plans of destruction
My life lies outside your command.
My brother I pity your sad empty heart
For all things that can never been told
As I wait here along with my courage
For your next cloth of hate to unfold.
You have tried in vain effort to swallow me in
To the dungeon within which you reside
But the power that drives along fearless survival
Eradicates all need to hide.
I fear you not, and you trouble me slightly
As you advance so inadequately back
And regardless of effort to poison my memory
I ride the inside of this track.
The misery you try to land upon our steadfast home
Firmly bonds us together there despite
And all that you do to evoke a reaction
Is a guaranteed failure to bite.
We speak of you often in pity and shame
My wife and my children and I
And my brother that they should now worship
Is the uncle they'd just rather die.
How proud are you now as the consequence strips you
Of all little pride you still had
That the news of you parting regardless of method
Will even make innocence glad.
What drove your campaign to the valley of darkness
From just where did the venom flow
Should you not in your mind try retrace the beginning
For the answer lies there I know.
I think all that said that the greatest of sorrow
I sense deep within your own soul
So perhaps you should concentrate all future effort
Towards that indefinable goal.
I feel sure that these lines from an unshackled mind
May be my last open contact with you
So I need you to know that in spite of your bidding
There is nothing at all you can do.
My family and I are aware of your presence
And our lives roll regardlessly on
As you hide in the trees during hours of surveillance
You have really been a long time gone.
As a final attempt to release you to wander
For a chance I can bid you adieu
I must say though you're holding me there in the crosshairs
It is I who have the bead on you.
