Poetry: Family ties

by Charlotte Breems

Created on: February 02, 2009

"Blood is Thicker Than Water" (somebody who got it wrong)

How is it that the streams of life that course through our veins; could hold anything other than a direct comparison to the fresh pureness of mother nature that ensures our existence?

Such a perplexed simile; raped and distorted by the contortions of lineage! It isn't till blood is seized from the heart, cleaved from the flesh, pouring out aimlessly, wasted; that its density produces any depth.

Only a fool would believe otherwise.
