Contention is a two edged sword,
Of devastating force.
When wielded with an angry heart,
Can destroy a foe, of course.
Yet when you swing this fearful sword,
Then see your hands and heart,
You see that you, as with your foe,
Have been cut and torn apart.
When you wield this awful sword,
To rend your foe in two,
Each cut and slash on them you make,
Is mirrored back on you.
So when you reach for this evil sword,
Upon your armory wall,
Remember before you pick it up,
That you will also fall.
