My Brother Poem by Zotena Moses

IT'S A NEW DAY, READ, ACT AND REMAIN
BLESSED.

My brother
you are my brother
our mother says you are
destiny confirm our meeting
tell me my brother
will you remember me when am gone?
will you attend my burial?
will you pour sand on my grave?
my brother tell me
will you play Tuface music for my soul?
will you cook and celebrate my departure?
will you make a statue unto my remembrance?
be truthful in your response
my rich brother
will you assemble the Senates for my memorial?
will they discuss immortalizing my ART?
will the next generation remember my adventure
among men?
will my portrait be hang on the gate of the city?
tell me this truth, no ear will eavesdrop
with your precious life, will you protest for my
justice?
my brother do it now for my existence
help me my soul tie brother
speak for me my friend
remember the word of Mama
vanity is the land lord of this planet
what you eat is yours
what you wear is mine
where you live is theirs
tell me my brother
do you truly love me?
then forget my ugly past
do you truly care for humans
then show my angel
givers never lack

THE THOUGHT OF EVERY BEGGAR OUT THERE.
LET NOT YOUR DAY END WITHOUT A PRAYER AND
AN ALMS UNTO THE STREET.
