Brother I Heard Your War Cry

BROTHER I HEARD YOUR WAR CRY

Yes my old friend I had your challenge
I couldn’t help but laugh it off….
You who just cut your teeth yesterday
You I saw soil your under gametes
You I saw take your first steps…
Now you have the guts…

To think you have wit enough
Wit to challenge us 
Us schooled and skilled in the art
Us that breathe and live by wit…
 Is but the greatest foolery if you my opinion seek

Brother I heard the challenge…
Cower not when the time comes
Let’s make our ancestors proud
I shall with my pen come
 Let’s duel.
