  • Ode to my older brother

    When I was born, you were already in existence
    You had a desire to reach out for something
    Frankly I admired that desire in you
    So I watched on as you built your gadgets
    Honestly I wanted to learn that too
    and I asked you to teach me those tricks
    but you refused.

    Of course I was hurt
    My own brother,
    sons of the same father
    Why this break?

    Then I looked on; you were lacking in something
    You had run out-well I realised-of patience
    Certainly I did not like that too
    but I watched on as you began loosing grip
    Obviously, not making that known to you,
    and learning too that my brother has been robbed
    I'm very sorry

    Yes please come back home
    You are still my brother
