Blood slowly trickles down
Mingling with sweat and tears.
Blurred visions, broken steps
Explosions ringing in the ears.
In one quick swish of the sword,
An innocent brother is slain.
The rain washes away all sins,
A mother's memories remain.

Dragged by beastly hands
A sister abused by one of ours.
Time heals all the pains of life,
But the story told by scars.
Through it all, life endures.
Nurtured by those who care.
Breath of life to a brother fallen,
A helping hand stretched...
