This Thing Called Family
Lies, Deciet, Jealousy
A remedy we live by
A concoction
That destroys us
As humanity
Particularly
Us as family
Constantly
Seeking attention
Striving to be better
Then brother or sister
Competition
Leading us to hate
And destruction
Brother killing brother
An age old tale
Which began with
Cain and Abel
Sister killing sister
In an effort to be better
To prosper
To be admired and revered
Too bad we wallow
In competition
That breads hate
That produces lies
And deciet
Brother hating brother
Sister hating sister
Sister hating brother
Systems torn apart
Structures and pillars
Of support fall
What world is this
When a stranger
Becomes family
And your blood
Becomes an enemy
Wishing you pain
Whats there to gain
When we lose family
Because we refuse
To congradulate each other
On a job well done
Without feeling out classed
Without the green eyed monster
Revealing its presence
Isn't the essence
Of family to support each other
To pull each other out
Of dispair and suffering
When did we lose that
And become individuals
Born together
Rather then family
That strives to reach
Greater heights as one
