Two Brothers


Two brothers stood in a lot
Gazing above, lost in thought


One said that they will die

The other said, why, oh brother, why?


The brother smiled and said

Birth is the start of the cycle of life
Life is the dead middle
Death is a phase, but not the end
The after life is the end of the cycle
Where you return and it starts again


But why brother, tell me why

Do I know this and you do not?


The other said

We are opposites
We are the gaps
Of each other's potential


Like Chocolate and Vanilla

Like Sun and Moon
Like Life and Death


What you are

I am not
And what I am
You are not


And thus . . .



The two brothers sat

Lost in thought
