| You’re Not My Brother
I know your face but I don’t recognise The way you look through those haunted eyes Hard to remember but I once knew your name My how you’ve changed your just not the same Your innocence fades with every passing year So full of hatred, anger and fear But you cant love your children and not love mine You’re not my brother if you don’t know why. You’re not my brother don’t you come round here You’re uninvited just you disappear You bring your prejudice I’ll show you my door You’re not my brother you’re not welcome no more You see no beauty in this holy place Ain’t got no soul and no human face Your childish spirit that I loved so much is gone You’re not my brother I don’t know who you have become Always fighting, I never know what for Every day is a battle and life becomes a war You’re always taking, you never know how much to give Have you forgotten how to live and let live You’re not my brother don’t you come round here You’re uninvited just you disappear You bring your prejudice I’ll show you my door You’re not my brother you’re not welcome no more (D. Morton) |
