Fickle

I understand

that one man

can't look

into a book

to see

that he

can be

completely

free

but one man

can understand

to take a stand

and lend a hand

to a dark and blind

hollow empty mind

to a soul

not quite whole

if you lend

a hand to mend

a soul at it's end

you will then

start to begin

that you can

understand

one man

better than

he understands

his own hand

in a band

of a brother

from a different mother
