A Spell I Know

It's all about my childhood days....


A Spell I Know

I know a spell to chant
It does not capture a heart
Neither it casts an ill-luck
but a spell against wasp

An easy word to murmur
"Oko ti kem kem kem,
tapara ka kem kem."
Just hope it works

i don't know what language it is
Nor what it means
but a friend said
it keeps a wasp at bay

She taught us how to chant
To learn it, took a while
It makes a wasp immobile
That prevents a sting from a wasp

We tried it once
The new knowledge we learned
Three heads gathered
Around a hive hanging from a branch

There we chanted
Like a song before time
Army of wasp from the hive
danced from the tune we chanted

There they were
dancing a step of their own
singing a song of their own
amids eyes that were unaware

There we were, surprised
running where our little feet might take us
chanting at the top of our lungs
A cloud of wasp behind

So much faith in a spell
So much confidence in a spell
But in the end, it failed us
And we ended up stung!
