Write Me A Ballade Poem by Hezekiah Tiamiyu

'Write Me A Ballade' is a song
We used to sing with a drum bang!
We shout loud with our timbrels and gong;
Write me a ballade!

It reminds us of battles won
By the ancient city of Carde
Of how our warriors voice sung;
Write me a ballade!

To write a ballade is tough
It requires the best hand
And they sung because they were one;
Write me a ballade!

No village or clan could turn
Against the warriors called Carade!
Singing, they won battles with words;
Write me a ballade!

And so that culture we got,
When faced with a war hard
We remember and sing with our guns;
Write me a ballade!

Only those who can write such
Can be strong fighters and proud
Bold enough to sing and voice up;
Write me a ballade!
