Brother to brother
Man to man
in combat
against their own
reflection.
See the face in the mirror?
That is you, my brother
in South Africa
my Hutu brother,
my Tutsi brother.
See your face in my mirror?
Between the barbed wire
I see you
my Greek brother
my Cypriot brother.
Children who walked
step by step
now stand
fist to fist.
Facing one another,
reflecting each other
enemies
across a line
only irrational love
can see to cross.
