Your Brother’s Keeper


Because with great power comes great responsibility
the boy, he said to me are you your brother’s keeper?

And although the night was closing in on me
I couldn’t say specifically if I was or if I wasn’t

And yet as coldness creeps and goosebumps rise
I could see it in his eyes –– you can’t outrun the Grim Reaper

So why should I stop myself from kicking him in the teeth
and ripping his sign in two though I knew I shouldn’t 

Because with great power comes great responsibility
the boy, he said to me are you your brother’s keeper?
