"A Brother Dies"
A brother dies
His soul released
He searched for truth
Found only lies
He reached for help
No, the lone reply
His brothers many
Friends are few
Lovers many
Yet love he seeks
Born alone
He dies the same
No granite marker
No earthen grave
Though the spirit dies,
The shell remains
Though brothers watched him
They stayed their hands
Another life he starts anew
A future ahead, a past behind
Today is but a moment
Tomorrow but a dream
He gives a sigh
Alas, another broken dream.
