Two Brothers

Pretentious and presumptuous The two of us In an eternal tug of war march on

Two peas in a pod Or a pot of petrol prone to pop?

Perchance we pray to swap The other one to our side And in madness see them sway In opposite direction far away

Like the earth and moon Tugging on the high seas Giving rise to the tumultuous tides Wrecking ships and chairs alike

Why can’t we reconcile Come together to one side So different is each other’s view we can’t ever see eye to eye

Moonrise on earth Or Earth-rise on moon Which ones the best With words won’t settle soon

The only way out I travel to the moon See the world in your lens My ultimate boon

See how the women swoon In your pretentious croon

In turn you get grounded Firmly on this earth And See how the world is like When you’re not flying high

Far from the moon From your fantasy bunny land Feel the cold hard rock We call the practical clock
