LOST SHINE IN DUST

Vibrations burst in my muscles Like warring armies of Water and wave that Surge to electrify a city-- I want to leap on the red hill At the village arena Like a mighty leopard And pounce on a willing opponent, Throw him in the dust To proclaim a sounding victory But there is no red hill At the village arena anymore Wrestling is no longer A dear spot among my clansmen Gold, diamond and rubies Have lost their shine in the dust.
