Family isn’t always blood

Blood is the life of every man
When time began, we knew no strife
Even the knife was not a plan
A man and wife to build a clan.

If one man and woman came first
What could be worst than losing stand
Against the planned walk to quench thirst
Are we not cursed so we don’t stand?

First, blood should not be family
The world is a sea where we are caught
Brothers get shot for just a fee
Leaves, fruits; a tree comes from a lot.
