Toe To Toe

They stand toe to toe Neither will give up their ground A battle for fools For they both possess great strength One will be destroyed today The winner receives no prize The blood screams out from his hands For him there's no sleep Glassy eyes peer from the dark Brother dead on ground Trying out Harry Horsman's toe to toe tanka.

So sad, it reminds me of Hunger Games or something!

A brother on brother fight to the death? What a gruesome topic... I wonder what differences could have lead up to this. The outcome of such arguments leads only to deep regret and destruction apparently. I will try my best to heed your advice... and instead think of ways that makes two people the same.

It all started with Cain and able and the spilled blood cried to God from the ground.
