Fear At the Crossroads

I 
look 
to 
the 
right
two 
hundred 
elephants 
raise 
a 
cloud 
of 
dust
i 
look 
to 
the 
left
two 
hundred 
buffaloes 
knock 
their 
horns 
together.
I 
look 
straight 
ahead
two 
hundred 
weaver 
bird 
fly 
off
piripijapijapi
Death 
is 
in 
the 
forest
dressed 
in 
black.
Midnightg. 
Like 
a 
cloud,
shadows 
the 
earth.
Danger 
lies 
in 
wait
 on 
every 
side.
But 
the 
brave 
priest 
can 
stop 
two 
hundred 
buffaloes, 
The 
brave 
priest. 
can 
control 
two 
hundred 
weaver 
bird.
