Two brothers
each of them lost
in their own way
estranged from the father
carrying their own sin
Sin heavy upon them
though different in kind
unable to see the love of the father
wanting the best for each of them
Running away,
to a different land
demanding his treasure
lost on this earth
And the other son
close by but blind
jealous of the prodigal
unable to see the father
his arms always open wide
