Brother

for the first time,

I see your hurt,

I feel your pain,

and I realize

just how wrong

I have been;

when you called out,

I did not hear your voice,

when you needed help,

I turned away;

and for this I apologize;

I cannot crawl inside your skin,

I cannot know what you feel,

we can never be brothers in race,

but we can at least try to be

brothers in life;

you must tell me what it is

you see wrong,

I must tell you what it is

I see wrong;

we both must listen,

we both must change,

we both must go to the mountaintop,

we both must share the vision,

we both must have the dream;

as glorious,

as wonderful,

as that of the King.
