homophonic translation

Papuan Tok Pisin Poem
by sunnilicious
Day 21, Writing prompt - Find a poem in a language that you do not know, and perform a homophonic translation on it. The poem may not be credible as the languages are different, and the rewrite is based on sound.
Note: I watched a video a couple months back about a boy saved from a life of cannibalism in Papua New Guinea. I thought the country was Native Indians, but there are Jungle People too. I decided to play with a poem from that country. I clumped the people of this country as a whole. And I found a poem from Papua New Guinea. The language is called Tok Pisin.
