A Tale of Two Countries

A similar look , brothers and sisters borne out of the same tale , but yet a story told differently. whose more patriotic cant say , whose more nationalist, no one can tell , but a handful hurt exist across.
Yet they are both , still not together.

Once a middle kingdom ,shadowed by the heavenly light  wherein in case of anarchy a rebellion was also justified. The suns land at past, just a tribute away? A harmonious world existed therein.

Now disputed islets in between , history told differently.
Blame of atrocities pointing fingers on each, the second time the world was not at peace.

Heroes of one , war criminals of the other , worshiped at once guided by faith now just a shrines residents, kept alive for political vote banks to bathe.

Shelling over a no mans land , military fall outs, air strikes and naval exercises
The gods wont be pleased with the visits to Yasukini shrines, neither the masses with a proposed national holiday of 3rd Sept.
Coming of an avalanche it seems when the head of the states meet, a third party summit or country's state visit.  Reinstating the defense posture, are you secured fellow citizen?

Stuck in the vicious circle, harbingers to the legacy. Still are a look for most outsiders - Brother and sisters.
