All religions praise and commend kindness <br />All people, young and old, abhor meanness. <br />Truth is always sought, but often twisted, <br />By people who are cruel and self-interested. <br />You do people good turns, they ask for more, <br />You stop doing favors, they wage their war. <br />Old people say blood is thicker than water. <br />But back stabs come from your blood brother, <br />Who might be older or might be younger. <br />What sin have you committed, what murder? <br />You just cannot do him any more favor! ! <br />For him, you MUST give without delay, <br />For him, you're made of MONEY not clay. <br />When will he know the value of brothers? <br />When will he stop chasing my treasures? <br />The truth is painful, and us it bothers: <br />Such are brothers, cruel back-stabbers! ! <br /> <br /> 06/09/2010<br /><br />Omar Osman Jabak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unkind-brother/
