WHY BOTHER BROTHER
by UC Poika
to stand alone bewilder beastly foes
to make a friend be friendly even to those
who would not be a brother nor a friend
and stand by them beyond the bitter end,
unlike the scorpion the turtle knew
be something other than you are, be true,
be genuine, be loyal, real—be one
that lets the scorpion ride your back alone,
but don’t worry about the fact he surely is
about to sting you as you swim like this,
the enemy cannot help but murder us
his nature being just that, murderous,
but if you don’t love me to death my brother
you serve yourself and no one else. but why bother?

- I like the way you put it at the end here. I also feel that there's not much meaning in life if you can't care about and believe in others. I also like the use of murder us and murderous. It's a good play on words.
