Totem Pineapple

I searched in the plantations all day one pineapple I got out of sweat but it is not a normal earthly fruit it is adorned with tattoos and taboos The totem pineapple kills my buds I chew calmly the sweetness in mouth wanting not that it is finished in haste totem pineapple, how delicious you are At the back is the tattoo of temptation in front is the tattoo of rare sweetness at the sides are tattoos of imaginations on the face there’re tattoos of satisfaction My totem pineapple adorned with beauty bats of the air, moles of the soil admire but I shall not allow while I’m still alive hot poachers to taste my tabooed totem Totem pineapple is mine forever ever in you sweetness germinates and grows Bats, moles risk not your wings and legs I have cutlass to trim them like branches
