Disharmony

Family reunions,
result in confusion,
reverting to childhood,
some control, others brood.

Innocent intentions,
ripen into tension,
accusations are hurled,
bouncing around the world.

Brothers and sisters part,
with disappointed hearts,
swearing to never meet,
yet saddened by defeat.

Don’t dream of global peace,
when family feuds don’t cease,
are we truly modern?
When old lessons aren’t learned?
