  • Two Brothers


    First brother set the house on fire,

    licking flames dancing higher.

    Second brother rose to run

    when he seen what he had done.

    But he stood there transfixed

    at what he had just witnessed.

    Sparks swirled and scattered round them,

    thinking ‘bout the blood that bound them.


    Second brother then heard

    First brother say these words:

    “Now the reason you’ll learn,

    did it just to see it burn.”

    Second brother brushed the ashes

    Shook his coat and wiped his glasses

    Took a bottle, poured a drink.

    Said “I need some time to think.”


    First brother sat next to the other.

    They had a drink and then another.

    By night’s end with the rising sun,

    they both knew what had to be done.

    Out they stepped into the morning

    And without a word of warning

    Second brother took his turn,

    He lit a house, they watched it burn.
