I read an article about the USS FItzgerald and the sailors who died after the collision, and i listened to a Kinks song, and i wrote.

I hovered on the edge of not finishing it; but i did.

It's called brothers, and it's in the form of a PDF.

=================================

The song is called "Brothers", too:

the world's goin' crazy and
nobody gives a damn anymore.
and they're breakin' off relationships and
leavin' on sailin' ships for far and distant shores.
for them it's all over,
but i'm gonna stay.
i wouldn't leave anyway.
i know that someday we'll find a way.
we'll be o.k.

'cause i'm your brother,
though i don't even know your name.
i've discovered that,
deep down inside, you feel the same.
our friends are leavin'.
now they seem so far away.
but we shouldn't feel afraid.
there's so much that we can say.
you're my brother,
though i didn't know you yesterday.
i'm your brother.
together we can find a way.

the old world's fadin'.
now it seems so far away.
well, i'm not goin' anywhere.
there's so much that we can share.
i'm your brother.

Fair winds and following seas to take you home, brothers.

AFF, that was very moving.
