The Product of End

Can I call you brother,
Mother,
Sister,
Friend?

Can you guess the past,
The present
The future
End?

Will you embrace the fall,
The rise
The stale
Defend?

Can you make stable the reason,
The decision
The corruption
Pretend?

Will you understand the borrowing,
The keeping,
The witness,
Lend?

Are you strong enough to sway,
To move,
To list,
Bend?

If I reached out, would you take hold,
Take blame,
Take honor,
Extend?

Can you understand the writing,
The drawing,
The release
Send?

Can you accept this person,
This victim,
This sufferer,
Befriend?

How will you handle
My present,
My future,
My end?
