What type of dance
Is this?
A movement so strange
We all looked
Like strangers
Without betrothed confidence
We heard the
Throbbing of drums
Yet our king
Dancing strangely
A foreigner's dance
The adorning of the waist
A seduction of men
Answering the call
Didn't you hear?
The king
Singing provocative songs
The beads on her waist
Dangling like serpents
Round a tree
A mystery so strange
Her gold necklace
A blinder of men
Promiscuity of his majesty
Hell awaits his surrender
A weapon of destruction
Okpala has been brought down
A mighty man falleth
At the seduction of a strange dance
