Maori War Dance

by tempeste

Ka mate
I die
Ka ora
I live

crouched thighs
wild eyes
fearful cries

angry pouts
tongues out
total freakout

war chants
hostile stance
warriors advance
savage glance
barbed lance
death dance


chest beats
stomping feet
enemy's defeat
human meat
macabre treat
 



A Couplet Story contest entry


Yes, the Maori practiced cannibalism.

War dance





The Maori are on the war path in parliament now.


The Treaty causing the trouble

Pays one point and 2 member cents.
