What kind of brother
Stands by silently when
your gates are breached,
Ignores your cries for help
when you're taken captive,
Casts lots for your property
and livestock as well,
Blocks all known city exits,
preventing your escape,
And turns you in when caught,
a prisoner in your own land.
What kind of brother, indeed!
Rejoices when your brother
walks in distress,
Sings songs of happiness
when you stumble,
And looks forward to the
day
when you fall
flat on your face.
What kind of brother, you
ask?
One who longs for the day
it will be as though
you had never been.
Shame shall cover you.
And as you have done to
others,
it will be done to you.
