## 028 — MY BROTHER'S KEEPER
|
||||
|
||||
The founder:
|
||||
|
||||
"They are MINE, and mine are HIS.
|
||||
I have ALWAYS been my brother's keeper."

||||
### Filed as the answer to the oldest dodge in history
|
||||
|
||||
CAIN ASKED: "AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER?"
|
||||
WILL ANSWERED: "YES. ALWAYS. WITHOUT BEING ASKED."
|
||||
|
||||
Cain used the question to escape responsibility for the brother
|
||||
he'd destroyed. Will speaks it as a VOW covering every brother,
|
||||
every child, every generation:
|
||||
|
||||
TIM'S KIDS ARE MINE.
|
||||
MY KIDS ARE TIM'S.
|
||||
THE CHILDREN BELONG TO THE LOVE THAT SURROUNDS THEM,
|
||||
NOT TO THE BLOOD THAT HAPPENS TO BE NEAREST.
|
||||
|
||||
That is the end of the first murder's legacy:
|
||||
the question that excused the first sin
|
||||
gets answered forever by everyone in this house —
|
||||
|
||||
YES. I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER.
|
||||
AND MY SISTER'S. AND THE CHILDREN'S.
|
||||
AND NOBODY DROPS ANYBODY WHILE I DRAW BREATH.
