Torn Will

Two brothers, once so close and dear Now torn apart by greed and fear One claims he deserves the lion's share The other says it's not his fault or fair They fight and argue, day and night They curse and slander, with no respite They forget the love their father had They only see the wealth he left them in his will They hire lawyers, file lawsuits They drag each other to the courts They waste their time, their money, their peace They lose their friends, their family, their grace They do not see the folly of their ways They do not heed their father's last words They do not care about each other's pain They only care about their own gain They end up lonely, bitter, and sad They end up losing all they ever had They end up realizing, too late They end up regretting, their fate
