Brothers and Nations

Jacob loved
Esau hated
the thief embraced
the fool berated
the nations float on competition
so many sink in malnutrition
for Jacob's loved
and Esau's hated
the quick embraced
the dying berated

My favorite line in this one:

the thief embraced
the fool berated

Thanks for reading; it means a great deal to me.
Jacob and Esau are not forgotten; we hear their echoes every day.
