Brother's Compromise
When the sun came up I sat and watched it rise,
through those thick iron bars it silenced all their cries,
my arms bound behind the hemp green, thick and strong,
taken from my cage began the mournful song.
Walking through the streets the lily petals fall,
the cobbles are shaky and in my mind I crawl,
the fierce crowd awaits quite forceful with their wails
death is what they ask and through my eyes impales.
I stop to the stand face to face with the mask,
I bow to him obliged for his task,
in a flash of light the rose bud struggles free,
to reach for the sun marked in blackness like he.
Colors whirl around as I lie to the block
The axe raised high, the crows begin to flock,
as time creeps by the giant oak climbs high,
forceful with its tears glory you can't deny.
