Once in a distant land, two brothers were seen,
Like twin nations, but with a boundary of ego in between.
When asked to come to peace, they'd say ''He's not my brother''
With fiery swords, one wanted to behead the other.
For peace to be, the only choice was to let them stay apart
Soon, they demarcated land and constructed huge walls between their hearts.
As years rolled by, onlookers waited for love to creep across the walls,
Instead, the brothers kept on throwing stones at each other's houses, unaware that their houses were made of glass.
Both followed different religions and raised their own flags above sanity,
Unaware, that one thing is far above religion - and that's humanity.
When onlookers would ask, where the problem in unison lies,
They would be dismissed as if they were too innocent to realise.
One night, a rampant fire spread
Destroying both their cattle, it brought in flames of dread
The fire wrecked their houses, but mended their fate

One night, a rampant fire spread
Destroying both their cattle, it brought in flames of dread
The fire wrecked their houses, but mended their fate
To stop the fire, they eventually had to cooperate
Write a message of harmony on those imprudent walls, it's such an eternal bliss,
Both needed unison and demonstrated to the world only this,
If you have a candle in the darkness, do not hesitate to light it,
If you have a tradition that doesn't make sense, do not hesitate to fight it.
