Brother!
Now I see you so near
You give me strength to rise again
But why are you so still
so stoic
brother?
Chains of Babylon
bind us together
but we do not touch
With this sword
I would free you
But where are your chains?
They are not like mine
In your eyes
I see your spirit
bound by chains
by burdens
by weight
by heart
so heavy
the sword cannot free you
yet
-Pat Sumi
