And there is was
Spoken outloud
The words cutting deep
We knew it was lingering
Something about the finality
Realization
Sadness
Anger
Overwhelming thoughts
Impending disaster
Decisions
Splitting assets
Selling everything
Mutually agreed
There is no coming back
No redo
Options exhausted
It’s real
It’s happening
Divorce
Ending of our dreams

Political conflicts emerge from differing ideologies that scar the fabric of humanity. Most notably, the Korean War, though never formally ended, continues to take its toll upon a broken country’s people. For three generations, North and South Korean citizens have been unable to freely travel across its borders to visit friends and family. Through humanitarian efforts, a Lottery has been created to allow separated families to reunite. These reunions are heavily monitored and do not allow repeat visits in the future. Some individuals never win a chance for such visits, others die while waiting to win, while others suffer dementia rendering such opportunities cruel and meaningless. This poem invites its reader to stand in the shoes of those living in a divided country.
Farewell, My Brother
Hello, my brother
i bid you farewell
today at long last
we will, our stories tell.
The fates were kind, and did allow
our eyes to meet, our hands to hold
to three generations we had to bow
time did fleet, and now we are old.
For while i share these pictures with you
many have passed, their time was through
for some, their minds of memory were wiped
their families are gone, while yet in sight.
It was good to see you again, my brother
a single visit, our governments did permit
a lifetime with you, i would have ruther
in deepest anguish, we end this trip.
Hello, my brother
i bid you farewell
… remember my smile
… remember my voice.
Farewell, my brother.
