a sad story


the car same car that hit so hard, it smashed into a water hydrant homeboy's brother's teeth were shattered light skin frame mangled body dangled as he dragged himself out the car his brother in whom he loved to death had just been in a car accident he was afraid to lose his brother in the hospital beside herself his mother was crying his screams were muffled his mouth was held together by metal wires jaw was held in place by a metal monster slur speech drinking soup drinking water as his brother was laying in bed, he appeared to be angry by the second his anger got the best of him and took it out on his younger brother he loved his brother despite of the maltreatment day after day tending to his needs bringing him soup a bucket for him to spit when he was finally back on his two feet he was back in the streets he would call for his brother and got no response he was gone once again the pain the agony the worries mental beatings all gone in a place of no return he only his brother's face on drunken nights if he can get up early he can catch his brother coming back from a night with his friends arms wrapped around his knees but the legs kept moving and the little boy gets shoved to the side where he wonders where his brother disappeared this time his mother would scream and throw platanos while he is caught in between the verbal warfare kids were on the way but he continues his ways once again, he became a proud servant to his older brother bucket on one hand soup on the other he knew once his brother was better the arms will not hug back
