BROTHERHOOD I can no longer afford to look down on black men, all men; my brothers. Not to absolve us of our sins Nor to boost our already heightened egos and low self-esteem Not to relieve the guilt our actions may seed But to cherish our growth. To want and expect more. To discipline us and hold us accountable To protect To see the “me” in “them” and never forget that I could be the same To walk in truth - a truth coloured by what is warm, soft and fragile Because to hate me is to destroy me And to succumb to exasperation is to give up and allow us to fester. And for the company you keep, remember this: If you cannot cry in front of ones you call ‘brother’... then I suggest you call them by another name.
