KEEP THINKING AND DOUBTING

poem by: Kenvil Atkins
Written on Jul 12, 2023

Tarry a while and read this story
I kid you not I find no glory
The years were rough 
But we were tough
Together we both needed 
Each other for there was no other

Yes talking about my brother
Growing up without a mother
Toil and sweat you can bet
Life was rough 
But we were tough
He was three and I was four

The years we saw ahead
Was much more 
Yes trouble was always
At our door
Someone always needed 
more
It was my job to go to war

I beat down the mob
As he sometimes sobs
Navigate through life
He to fine I did the time
Making it slow 
Not much to show

We held on to each other
For he was my brother
Through grade school
Graduating without a tool
That's just not cool

His first job was there
Rest assured I knew where
He is growing up 
I do declare
And travel with him everywhere

He parted ways and I just gaze
Hoping it is just a faze
I wonder why 
And I did cry
He left without a goodbye
My brother why 
Before I die
You got to know I did try
I have no other alibi
