My Brother's Keeper Poem by D Loveday Morris

My Brother's Keeper

Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
Am I my sister's keeper?For sure man.
Whether she, he, they or them
I'm my brother's keeper
And my sister's friend

Let's reflect on the life of King David and Jonathan
When King Saul implemented a system of oppression
Soilders couldn't eat honey, yet they had to fight
And Jonathan told his father that wasn't right
It was a#riot that he led!
When he kept David and helped him fled
It also made the #news
So dont be afraid to chant your views
Don't be afraid to chant your mood
You see injustice exist from the dawn of time
And there is a thing so powerful called #badmind
Yet, the love of a brother is like fine wine
And if you help your sister she gets better in time

Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
And my sister's keeper, for sure, man.
If your umbrella break then come under mine
You can stay under my umbrella sister;
You can stay under my umbrella brother, that's fine
Don't loot, shoot and destroy a brother's town
Remember an extra grain of rice makes it a pound
United voices, give others choices
Think about that the next time you make your Xes
Words, like rock can knock a sister down
So help her get dress, straighten her crown
Reaffirm her, that the change will come; don't slow her down
Don't stand by and watch as they push whether he, she, they or them down

Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am.
Am I my sister's keeper?For sure, man.
Whether she, he, they or them
I am my brother's keeper
And my sister's friend

Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am.
Each man is my brother
A sister is a friend
Be a keeper of he, she, they and them
Build bridges of love everywhere
Be open, speak up, speak out, when it's unfair
There is a nothing more powerful than love and care
You can make a difference
That's why you are here
