Life In Early Days
|
Men sang with cutting knives
High on tops of coconut trees
Sweat falling like raindrops
Early in the morning
Like waves rolling in and out.
Women lit fire with handful
Of merry and caring
Boiled toddy to make 'kateete' and 'kaboreere'
Weaving mats under a pandanus hut
When the lamp gives enough
Light before the new day born.
Children collected firewoods
As others pulled out 'bero' fruits
For dinner with barbecue fish
Out on the reef everyone laughed
Catching octopus , eel and
Pretty shells for mother
To decorate her weaving hat
For money
To support my education and living.
(Written by: Mrs Karibwannang - School Teacher)
