THE FENCE

They drew lines on the ground
and two brothers parted ways.
Once their hearts to affection bound
now spend their own lonely days.

Among them the mother is torn -
seasons pass, her hair grey's.
Poisoned heart and looks of scorn
unmended - they keep up the craze.

The wired fence is still there,
but the wheel would again turn.
Unheeded remained a mother's prayer -
but her wishes live on in a silver urn.
