you see what i tell you about being
strong
it
saved me at the battlefield
i
struck so many enemies
i
killed a lot with my bare hands
oh! i fought so hard with all my energy
the enemy got me while i tried to save a brother
he
drove the spear in my belly
that's
how i got that little hole where the blood gushes from
but
i held on till I got here
we almost won you know?
we
just were not enough for them
They
came out in thousands
while
we came at them in hundreds yet
they
could not kill me
I
made a promise not to die at the battle ground
I
made sure of that
So
many died but I struggled to escape with my carve
They
were just too powerful in their numbers and weapons
That
man attacked me with my own spear
please
take these words to my family
first
to my father
Tell
him I fought bravely
To
my mum tell her I did not die on the battle field
To
my beloved wife, tell her I killed hundreds of soldiers
To
my son tell him I was a good soldier
As
i drown in my own blood
would my wife ever think i would be stabbed
with the spear I sharpened
I
hope I be remembered for being a good fighter.
