Bond
We are different faces
Countless as grains of sand
Here in a place that hangs on nothing
Even if you're white, and I, black
Giant are you, and he, pigmy
Although you're learned, she is puruntu...
l know we have a bond.
Beautiful bond is blood - I know you
Know that fluid, warm and red
My father, my mother; my brother, my sister-
Don't hurt their feelings if you have one
Because water is light, blood is bold.
Love, they say, is a bond too
Whoever is in it is crazy already
My beau, my bae; my man, my wife -
Don't break their hearts if you have one
Because love is chameleon - it is green
It is blue, it is white; but never black.
Bond is gravity; gravity, bond.
This force attracts like mother bat, baby bat
Friends, companions; cohorts, accomplices -
Don't betray them if you have one
Because to betray is to kill alive
To die alive is to forever know the pain.
Now to you - all folks in question
I believe in heaven, still, here we are
If I went missing one day
Around the world, or outside it's perimeter
And you knew not that it'd happened
I might not take it with levity
Because...we have a bond.
