Blood Brothers.
We are brothers.
By blood.
We grew up.
In the same hood.
We ran with.
Different gangs.
We fought to.
The bitter end.
Making deals too.
Get our thrills.
Tattoo our faces.
To number our kills.
Under the shadow.
Off the gun.
We revenged what.
We thought was wrong.
Our paths crossed.
Nailed our colours.
To the mast.
We live for now.
And not the past.
My gang family.
Ensure you remain.
The enemy.
As we are.
Put in the ground.
Our gang family.
Looking down.
We realise we are.
Being buried with
The enemy.
We have been reunited.
With our family.
Tobani November 2024.

A case study on what is family, truly riveting 🙏🏻🕊️

You too 🙏🏻🕊and you’re welcome 🕊🙏🏻
Too often things separate us as family and then we have to ask what is family and its value. A most interesting write that asks the reader to dive deep into values of affiliation.

Whether taken literally as being about gangs and gang violence, or metaphorically to mean something else, this is a poem with a powerful punch, Tobani. Well done!

Good write PL.
Thank you for your kind feedback, hope you have a wonderful weekend
That wry twist in concluding with echoes of O. Henry, leaves more of a smirk than a happy smile as chagrin replies. Superb. Disarmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a tantalizingly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind feedback, hope you have a wonderful weekend
Re-uniting will always happen in our lives Tobani.
