Brother's Keeper

You flinch and shudder when you see blood

From the wound of a stranger in pain.

You cry for strangers taken by the flood.

You weep at starving kids picking grain.



You pine at another's heartbreak.

You agonize when beggers ask for aid.

You feel the pain of a man's long trek.

You scream with the woman who is afraid.



You silently moan at the death of a thief.

You hope for a better job for a sweeper.

You oppose the sentence passed by the chief..

And yet, you say you are..Not... your brother’s keeper?
