Control over your people and country

Rule over nations

Over countries and enemies, in

War

Now for peace

Never think these figures are innocent

Keeping a secret is what they do, Eerie and crazy -

It's what these things look like

Seriously evil and

Incredibly daunting

Nkisi

Killed a thousand times

I should be wary

Situated in the same place forever

In a museum for all to see

Nervous when they see you

Knowledge is what they hold

I feel daunted when they stare at me

Strange objects but magnificent

Ifeel inspired but slightly scared
