It is not until someone dies
                          and leaves a substantial will
that we experience what once
                            and twice removed actually
means, distant is another term
                             that enters the fray. Family
ties, direct relationships, kin
                               common ancestry, lineage
and more recently, DNA. All
                         turn up at the Solicitors office.
Before the envelope is opened
                           the common denominator is
presumed hereditary, whereas
                         after, this perception changes
when capital becomes vulture
                          prey of the diseased. Avarice
growls in bitterness as wanton
                     women espoused via copulated
couplings, assert entitlement by
                          way of equitable proportions
based on democratic dividends
                        as a prerequisite bi product of
association despite never even
                    spending time with the old man!
