You, Are my brother. You, Are my sister. You are my tribe, My people, My Family. To see the day, Witnessing the ways we hate each other, Thrusts a knife through my heart, and out the other side. The weight of the world falls upon us when we see the loss of our brothers, our sisters, Born of the same blood, As you, and I. I am not scared, I am sad, I am disappointed to see the ways, The walls we build that separate us from the other. There is no other, Only Us. You, Are my brother. You, Are my sister. You are all my family, And my Blood. To see the blood spilled for the sake of nothing, Forsaken are we to each other. Come together, You and I. Come, my sister, Come, my brother. We shall stand, Hand in hand. until the day we fly. ~Robert van Lingen

You are My Family.
You, Are my brother. You, Are my sister. You are my tribe, My people, My Family. To see the day, Witnessing the ways we hate each other, Thrusts a knife through my heart, and out the other side. The weight of the world falls upon us when we see the loss of our brothers, our sisters, Born of the same blood, As you, and I. I am not scared, I am sad, I am disappointed to see the ways, The walls we build that separate us from the other. There is no other, Only Us. You, Are my brother. You, Are my sister. You are all my family, And my Blood. To see the blood spilled for the sake of nothing, Forsaken are we to each other. Come together, You and I. Come, my sister, Come, my brother. We shall stand, Hand in hand. until the day we fly. ~Robert van Lingen
For all the lives lost in the New Zealand attack, I mourn your loss as you are my family. For all the lives lost around the world every day. Let us come together and show us what our family name really means: Human.
