Brotherhood, A Dime Worth

BROTHERHOOD, A DIME WORTH ……By Poetic Tee (“Here, Take A Sip”) Thursday 14th Feb, 3rd Millennium A friend got a body buried A brother a divine trust betrayed After witnessing, shocking indeed it was To discover blood brotherhood A mere dime worth, not more. What!!! A true distress-call But two chose to ignore Why? One might ask, even wonder A ride at a funeral Another next to it with hope… dashed Till one left then come to rav off Not too far a call 6-7 times made Connecting each time only To snub a blood's call for help To rule out any doubt a turn made Arrived a dwell hoping, praying But alas! Truly, deliberately failed A sad soul with simple options Speech is silver, silence is gold Against the better pick, love for thyself Be mute? Best drop a line for 2 Yes reach out, as Allah SWT Made flesh nay blood thicker than water As we thank God for making us The "i" seeks sincerely, forgiveness Hard though to forget, hard indeed.
