This Thing Called Family

CATEGORY

Lies, Deciet, Jealousy 
A remedy we live by 
A concoction 
That destroys us 
As humanity 
Particularly 
Us as family 
Constantly 
Seeking attention
Striving to be better
Then brother or sister 
Competition 
Leading us to hate 
And destruction 
Brother killing brother 
An age old tale 
Which began with 
Cain and Abel 
Sister killing sister 
In an effort to be better
To prosper 
To be admired and revered 
Too bad we wallow 
In competition 
That breads hate
That produces lies 
And deciet 
Brother hating brother 
Sister hating sister 
Sister hating brother 
Systems torn apart 
Structures and pillars 
Of support fall 
What world is this
When a stranger 
Becomes family
And your blood 
Becomes an enemy 
Wishing you pain 
Whats there to gain 
When we lose family 
Because we refuse 
To congradulate each other 
On a job well done 
Without feeling out classed 
Without the green eyed monster
Revealing its presence 
Isn't the essence 
Of family to support each other
To pull each other out 
Of dispair and suffering 
When did we lose that 
And become individuals 
Born together 
Rather then family 
That strives to reach 
Greater heights as one
