14 Brother, I Warn You...

BROTHER, I WARN YOU

Brother, I warn you.

Think not too much

Of your animal fire.

Think not too much

Of your ferocious life.

Brother, I warn you.

Nostalgia can be nauseating, too.

Brother, I warn you.

Think not too much

Of your human life.

Think not too much

Of your voracious life.

Brother, I warn you.

Nostalgia can be nauseating, too.

Brother, I warn you.

If you think not at all

Of your gracious Lord,

Reality-kingdom shall never

Invite you,

Immortality-king shall never

Embrace you.
