blood brothers

Two brothers,two identities,
Twice the dreams,twice the ambition
Ambition? One's was dead,while the other manic
Both wanted one thing,gold
One wanted nothing less than a mine
The other content with a mouthful
For this both dug deep
A mine deep into the earth by one
The other dug and dusted the ruins within himself
Both engrossed themselves deeply for their treasure
When they were close to reward,
It set in,shunning all love and sharing
Greed,a brother forgotten,they dug
Alas!the mine collapsed,
Burying a gem among the gold,
The other perished too
He had success,the treasure found
But there he stood in an abyss he dug himself
Crying for a brother he had (deliberately) forgotten so long
He had the treasure he seeked but it could not get him out
Now he lies in that very abyss,and sings
Songs the world marvels at
but does not know the origin of which
Songs for his treasure,
which now were his brothers memories
His gold now lies next to him ,rotting
Now the only gold among these brothers
was an artery joining them
