The younger brother had a daisy growing in his heart
the daisy of hope
this daisy would consume his soul and strip him of his heart
yet he loved this daisy more than anything in the world.

The older brother had a gladiolus growing in his heart
the gladiolus of wrath
this gladiolus would revive his soul and give fuel to his heart
yet he despised this gladiolus more than anything in the world.

The younger boy knew the gladiolus would give life to his brother
so he hoped its wrath would keep him going
letting his own daisy consume him.

Too late, the older boy learnt the daisy killed his brother
and his anger burnt no more, as it had no one else to burn for
letting his own wrath consume him.
