Younger Brother of God

Terrifying than the battle of Troy
Mind is drifting away from joy
At first it was merely a toy
Alas I am just another boy

*There’s a world far far away
They keep the envies blocked at bay
To the evil they loathe they say nay
It gets kicked to Earth all the way

Heaven on Earth, you may wonder
So many things to see and ponder
Leaving the dark, the sun went under
Storm is here, hear the thunder

Crying for a change is all that is left
There is hope until you rest
But I need a friend to achieve this quest
Though six feet under seems the best

Make a change before you go
And pay the price you once owe
Then with pride take a bow
Leave the world with eternal glow

And thus I’m off to befriend the guest
**Younger brother of god, I don’t jest
