Brothers in War Why did the two brothers fight one another? In opposing armies on the same battlefield Because one was Latvian and the other Russian Both had the same father but different mothers The Latvian one welcomed the Nazis when they came For he was fascist and hated communists He collaborated and was happy for a few short years Till fortunes of war made the Soviets come The Nazis left after battling the new Soviet occupiers The Latvian bro knew what would happen so was ready He fought the Soviet invaders with his Mauser rifle Killing many but eventually being cornered in a village There were informers about and the Soviets knew With no escape he vowed to never surrender The Russians sent his Russian brother to **** him There was no negotiation for he was a collaborator His bro tried to flush him out with machine gun fire And then with accurate rifle shots hoping for a headshot The Latvian bro had two shots left including one for him When his chance was there he took it and fired The Russian bro was a loyal communist and wanted promotion But he slipped up in his zeal and got nailed by his bro Who then blew his own ******* head off with his big toe Thus died two brothers on opposing sides and ideologies Now forgotten by all except the ghosts
