The Castle in my hometown
Your subjects are in their youthful age.
Your strength are using the Forecourt
for wildcat gathering.
The Castle in my Hometown,
I am found wanting.
Your subjects are drunk but not for power.
I am told the Castle Dwellers are busy
without the priest.
The Castle in my Hometown,
I pity the chief priest.
Like a tiger without teeth and claw,
Your subjects made concoction without herbs
to heal the unsought lesion.
The Castle in my Hometown
I see no lesson.
Oh! Chief Dweller, cut the chase.
Your sovereignty is in shambles already.
Your arsenal killed a vulture .
The Castle in my Hometown,
I see a blur future.
