Hook and Nail

A tale of two twins
Orphans split up at birth
As opposite as yang and yin
As different as sky and Earth

One twin was sent off to a tower
A tower of ivory and jade
Taught to use the tools of power
And the rules of forging blades

The other twin was tossed aside
Hobbled by a twisted spine
Cast on a raft to ride out the tide
And vanish from the grand design

This is the tale
Of the hook and the nail
Is this the tale
Of the hook and the nail?
Is it a quest for a question?
Or the yes of exclamation!

Seeking success
In parallel formation
Waging perpetual war
For your attention
Finding solace
Only in rotation
This is the tale
Of the hook and the nail!
Is this the tale
Of the hook and the nail?

Raised by a school of sirens
The hunchback queried introspection
Melodious genuflections
Heading in any direction

The soldier was an upright citizen
Certain such questioning was a sin
For he knew just how many seraphim
Could crowd on the point of a pin

Hunchback huddles
Pondering puddles
Slippery and subtle
And eternally unfilled

Exclamation army
Firing at will
Aiming at truths
That just won’t stand still

A tale of two twins
Orphans split up at birth
As opposite as yang and yin
As different as sky and Earth

This is the tale
Of the hook and the nail
Is this the tale
Of the hook and the nail?
Is it a quest for a question?
Or the yes of exclamation!

Seeking success
In parallel formation
Waging perpetual war
For your attention
Finding solace
Only in rotation
This is the tale
Of the hook and the nail!
Is this the tale
Of the hook and the nail?
