Sibling Rivalry

That which you wish with to impress
We mere who wait our quite-late bus
Soul-seen by us serves to express
The truth that you are one of us

Carried now you command a car
Combative as you sit too high
Though lost and falling like a star
You smile by smirk and sidle by
Commanding from your armored tank

You smirk and pass we smile and sigh
To know (unlike you?) whom to thank
That we are nothing less than you
Though how and why you might deny
Despite this we are human too
Resolved in our mere way to try

Not high nor low just you and me
We live and dream alike then die
We are now and will always be
Not high nor low just you and I

Siblings of the same family
Sequestered by our rivalry
