Oh Brother


Oh Brother of mine

If only you'd listen

You dedicated yourself

To the one above

But send us all

To hell below


You forget that path

You've been set upon

Was a gift given you

By those you tread on


Take that plank from your eye

See the Samaritans

That refuse,

To pass you by

Let the weeds grow up with the wheat

And your life could become oh so sweet.


For your family only wishes to love you

You are the prodigal son

You hurt and maim

In God's name

Leaving them forever altered

Fearful to reach out again.


Your family you do not choose

You have so much to loose

Still they hold on to hope

They still grope

"Love me, as I love you," they plead.

To which you respond with, "Nope."


I pray before it's too late

And you're left up to fate

God shows you the mercy

You did not show


I hope on that fateful day

When God decides where we go

And He asks,

"Have you loved them as I have loved you?"

You have something to say.
