Broken Tom Sharp

The expedition to the east brought peace, but didn’t do me or people at home any good. My sword and halberd are broken, but at least I’m coming back alive so I can go hungry with everyone else who were heavily taxed for to pay for it.

破斧 诗经

既破我斧，又缺我斨。 周公东征，四国是皇。 哀我人斯，亦孔之将。 既破我斧，又缺我锜。 周公东征，四国是吪。 哀我人斯，亦孔之嘉。 既破我斧，又缺我銶。 周公东征，四国是遒。 哀我人斯，亦孔之休。
