The momentous moment is here
It’s welcomed with joy and merriment
But also with trepidation and anxiety for the boys to be initiated
Reacting to the call of the drums, the villagers gather
...
Divination is positive
Ancestors have accepted the sacrifice of blood
Penultimate preparations underway
Dancing ensues from dusk to dawn
...
Come take me, quickly and lead me far away
To the stars, no beyond stars
Fate it must be
For I've longed for your presence
...
half the moon is lit tonight,
but love lights, like its noon
through miles of dusty, dry wind
to a fertile land of love, where
...
morrow is a promise
today is here
seize it, seize it, seize it
should I live or hope to live?
...
