Two brothers, one on the verge of success, the other engulfed in a world rid of crime

While Leo was captivated by sports, the other had indulged in drugs and theft

Their mother was in dismay when she overheard her son was trafficking drugs in the daytime

She confronted her son in an authoritative manner but could not hold it in and wept

“Get out of my house,” came chants of sorrow from their mother

Without a word he left with his belongings and eradicated sense of pride

Leo watched in reticence and prayed he would not amount to the status of their father

His brother was dauntless, but his strength receded when his emotions died

Leo was in grief and solitude when his older brother received the status of a miscreant

Their mother was exceptionally jubilant that Leo was headed to college

It appeared that his brother was envious of Leo and had a misconceived judgement

His jealousy, surpassed to a level of absurdity and was reckoned as a savage

His brother had heard constant compliments towards Leo, and his path to prosperity

He could not take it and headed towards Leo’s house with the intent of sabotage

The oppression and despondency had consumed him in a reality of misery

Three knocks, three shots, as Leo’s brother unleashed a malignant barrage

Two brothers, one promising to be incomparable to the other, murdered in despair

The other psychologically tormented of his brother’s success, took one bullet to his head
