Inheritance
Has assumed proportions so dense.
It all began with the invisible DNA,
That defined the class, as they say!
Inheritance
Then became the impregnable fence.
Land in possession became the next object,
Before Kingship got appended to the subject!
Inheritance
Morphed itself yet again, and hence,
The family encapsulated its precious gold,
Inside iron chambers and kept it in tight hold!
Inheritance
Moved beyond the pound and pence.
Abstraction led the way to include codes,
As families were replaced by corporate abodes!
Inheritance
I feel, may acquire a new sense.
The term may be associated to good health,
As immunity has come to be valued as true wealth!
Inheritance
Has followed a rhythmic cadence.
And yet, has created many a discord.
This once, let there be harmony, Oh Lord!
