We are twin birds of the same tree,
You a little higher up,
I, a little below thee .
I live to eat the fruits
of the tree,
You just watch with
neither sorrow nor glee.
Fruits sweet & juicy,
I accept them carefree,
When bitter fruits
come my way, I want to flee.
Yet you aren’t unsettled
a bit perching on the tree,
You still just watch
all my dilemma emotion free.
Why am I like this
with mirth & sorrow,
Why do I always worry
about tomorrow.
And you my twin on
that highly branch,
Are devoid emotion and
never flinch.
