a neighboring clan went on the attack

and stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back


i will make them pay for taking my yams away



i carved out little figurines of thieves

burned a palmful of red dust from the medicine bag

broke a kola nut in half, i hate half of it myself

sat back and watched the evening drag

i will make them regret that they haven't brought my yams back yet
