Cache
Shrouds of mystery
Masked and surreal
Locked in a labyrinth of curios
Hidden behind myths of ancient origin
The truth known to a select few
Who are bound by a gag of sorts
Threats hanging over revelations
This guarded secrets of tribe
The initiates enter the grove shrine
Sitting under the canopy of tree leaves
Thick bushy surrounds close them to the outside world
There to gain insights of the secret milieu
But warned to keep mute
On exit there from
Death is the penalty for revelation
Meeting them at the open festival ground
Are a melee of folks dancing
Some wondering what they went through
That however remains a cache
Hidden in shrouds
Kept in the depths of their hearts
Only unveiled in the den of trees
On another day
Until then the secret stays secret
From the uninitiated
Here all join the dance and festivities
Where jingling bells and talking drums
Do the jig of honour
Punctuated every now and then by booming guns
That send chilling reminders to keep it safe
