Who can say just why all this happened
They'd been friends almost all of their lives
Sharing all that they had no matter the cost, but one chose to be selfish this time
You see the other contracted a sickness
All the doctors just threw up their hands
His life was ticking away but his friend just stood by like a spectator up in the stands
What was crazy was he had the answer
To remove all his brother's disease
But he folded his arms and talked of old times, while his best friend died without peace
Well he's sure glad he's got it
But he's to busy to share
And at least he won't die like they will
Well he's keeping the cure
In his pocket
You see, he'd also been sick earlier
To the sickness he'd become a slave
But one came to his aid with solutions in hand, he was rescued from the sting of the grave
Inthe first month he told all his buddies
Of the wonderful cure he had found
But it became routine and few shared his joy soon his excitement made less of a sound
Well he realised more people dying
From the plague for which he had the cure
But he was'nt a salesman and they'd think he imposed and they'd probably seen it before
