A miracle?

Conjoined twins
Joint at the torso
With one stomach, one pair of legs and one set of kidneys
But they have two hearts, two brains, and two radiant faces.
Are they two or one?
Will they always love each other?
Will one ever grow sick of his double?
Whose wishes will win?
If one wants to play in the garden and the other wants to sit and read in silence,
Which will they do?
More importantly, who will do what?
Will they teach the world tolerance
Or Pity?
Will they Live happily ever after
Or Die everyday?
Do they embody just one soul
Or a pair?
Are they both happy or does one’s emotions also get the better of the other’s?
Are they truly conjoined?
Or just disjointed in thought, action and belief?
A vagary of nature, crafted by it and forgotten soon after...
