Borrowed from his father
down the line to the infinite chain
of human pro-creation
to this day, the sword is transfered from father to son/daughter
Sometimes, squabbles ensue in sibling rivalry
and polygame erases the sweet tight circle over the sword
A wiseman once said "why fight over your father's sword"?
That was then, we now pride ourselves in owning a big bad sword
resulting in tining family ties and breaking blood bonds
Ours soundly became mine
Yes- A sword slit its own case
So it does to the owner
It is no good boasting about your father's sword
However, be gentle and mindful with your personal Sword
'Ifala Lah fanwu, iba laa famwu
Ifanwu laa famwu lee fisayata, bari kana sun, ilaa famwu yee ifaah'
