The Kolanut

THE KOLANUT Lobes of mystery, As charismatic as the chapel of sistine, A traditional prayer tool by which the ancestors in their spiritform listen to and hear our every prayers, The kolanut when broken into lobes serves as a compass for the hunter even in the deepest part of the rain forest, Alas! the city dweller chews it to stay awake, Friends apply it as a seal of friendship, The kolanut, the kolanut, the kolanut the silent killer of dogs, Still the urban dweller cherishes it because it keeps him going without feeling the pangs of hunger, Nature's gift to humankind.
