Fame of Family

A nesting game of blood relations,

A build of followers or enemies to boot,

What you see and do not in family,

Is the strength and weakness that straddles one,

This fame of family and sea of gold,

Will create and destroy in equal measure,

How to face and make one's strong,

Is it to be kind and support all fam,

Or to strike a path into the unknown alone,

In life's great test of the wise and sage,

You'll find your high or fail in your family's fame.
