Ode to an aggrieved Brother

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
Do not let us smother.
Are ye not the one to control,
for years we console.
Are ye not the elder,
shoulder the weather.
Haven't you been loved,
why do you shove?

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
Think of our Mother,
our beloved Father.
Do not let them wither.
Haven't they done their best,
(now) let them rest.
Haven't they taught us well,
(now) bring up your swell.

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
Do not be weak,
for time is of a week.
Years have passed by,
but ye have not reconciled.
Have you forgotten love,
Father's friendly trove.

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
do you remember your falters,
and all the somersaulters?
Mother she cared,
while others snared.
It was Father who stood by,
the ones you say to goodbye.

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
It is not over yet,
it is also my bet,
that ye have just digressed,
mind as distressed.
Come come now,
pick ye up,
(we still have) respect respect.

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
all is needed,
that is within you,
which ye have forgotten.
Bring it to fore,
for time is no more.
Strive, survive,
love is there to revive.

Dear Brother, what is your bother?
