Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Beneath the man the ground is stilled,
Taking one deep breath,
His older brother had been killed,
To join the boss in death.
The man was once two of six,
Yet now only three remain,
All attempts they made to fix,
Had been entirely in vain.
Sextuplets no more,
Blue stared at the sky,
And wished his now dark core,
Would turn blue once more and fly.
He took that step slowly,
The one to make him die,
And hoped his remaining family,
Would for once notice him and cry.
