the time of believing


Once when I was small
The stories of gins and ghosts
And the gods of nature living
They lived amongst us

Even when you wanted to ease yourself
In the woods or secondary forests..
You should say your forgiveness
In case you hit the passing spirits

If you forgot to ask for blessing
You stepped on them without intention
You would suffer for your foolishness
You would get sick without reason

Medical doctors couldn't explain
They couldn't find any faults with it
You would get sick for days
Until you consulted the medium...

The offering of food and drinks
And prayers to let the spirits let you go
By tomorrow when all these were done
In the morning you felt your spirit soared

The gins and spirits
The ghosts and evil demons
They would come
To tell they are around
