Warrior!
Aloof in triumph.
Bestriding the Arena
Like a colossus.
Your face shining
In resplendent brilliance.
Your body glistening
With the sweat of valour.
We see the maidens dancing
To the rhythm of the ikolo.
From yonder we hear
The voices of old men.
Recounting with gusto
The brave deeds of yesterday.
Warrior.
Desired by maidens,
Exalted by the aged
And honoured by the king.
Reveling in the fame
That bloodshed has brought.
With a week thought that
Tomorrow you might fall,
Another conquest story
For the likes of you. !
