This was a Printslam entry I did for Oppikoppi 2011. Sadly it didn't win but that's okay. It was fun making it.The theme for Oppikoppi 2011 was the song below, "Unknown Brother" by The Black Keys.
Unknown Brother - The Black Keys
Though I've never met you and we've spoke not a word
I'll never forget you through the stories that I've heard
For you, unknown brother, my baby's mother's in pain
Cause your soul is in heaven but your memory remains
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid
Your sisters loved you and all that you did
Big brother, big brother don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit
Your life was joy
Your mama's only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother, they're blue for you
We'll smile like pictures of you as a boy
Before you retired to heavenly joy
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play
