Poetry by Thomas Arminio.

why brother why

this is the tale of brotherly love and the affect it has on our youth today

 you are my brother and you look out for me

 you taught me how to fight

you taught me how to love

 you taught me how to be a man all with a gentle shove in the right direction 

you are my big brother and you always show affection

but why brother why couldnt you control your erection

do you remember the nights you showed me the hard facts of life

 youd come into my room and id try to fight

you say you did it out of love and you care about my feelings

 you want to make your big brother happy dont you

yes i said yes i do

i swear this will be the last time i ask

i heard that every time

 but all i could do was lay there and cry

i learned a lot of life lessons from these events

 i learned the fucked up truth at an early age

 now i have all this built up rage

im a prisoner trapped in cage

i see you all the time

i let you get away with the ultimate crime

your living life and a good one at that

 im addicted to drugs and societies black sheep

you fucked me up bad i scream in my sleep

why brother why did you teach me those lessons

 i cant turn back time

 what’s done is done

youve created a monster with no feelings at all

 only dark memories written on my wall

now i teach others what you taught me

 the hard facts of life they should never have to see

 i guess it runs through our veins

corrupting the young and enjoying there pain

watching them hang there heads low in shame

one thing that’s different between me and you

you can live with what youve done but i cannot

i will repent for the lives ive ruined

then with one last breath

ill blow my brains out and learn about death
