Analysis of Torn Will
conductor 1972 (nj)
Two brothers, once so close and dear
Now torn apart by greed and fear
One claims he deserves the lion's share
The other says it's not his fault or fair
They fight and argue, day and night
They curse and slander, with no respite
They forget the love their father had
They only see the wealth he left them in his will
They hire lawyers, file lawsuits
They drag each other to the courts
They waste their time, their money, their peace
They lose their friends, their family, their grace
They do not see the folly of their ways
They do not heed their father's last words
They do not care about each other's pain
They only care about their own gain
They end up lonely, bitter, and sad
They end up losing all they ever had
They end up realizing, too late
They end up regretting, their fate
