Brotherhood? - Anacrusis

For all of our wandering

We’ve still so far to go

For all of our questioning

We’ve still the need to know…

Are we still the frightened child?

Are we still the angered youth?

Or are we old before our time?

Are we getting any closer to the truth?

We’re force-fed reasoning

Yet, still can make no sense

The mind misses the point

Blind in its arrogance

Should we build a «better way»?

With whatever we can find?

If, in turn, it means we lose ourselves?

Should we force a common mind?

We’re weaned on empathy

To satisfy our doubt

While attempts at unity

Have scattered us about

Should we invent a «common bond»?

Through means misunderstood?

Or are we simply widening the gaps?

Should we force a brotherhood?
