‘Unfed’

Outram came to seek favor,

Aulea was his Queen mother,

the province’s.

The Queen refused

for the sake of justice.

Respectable citizen

at the play’s denouement.

The men neglected wives

for a simple game.

The unfed wives

hide their feeding

under the bed,

when the men came

to their bedrooms.

The king has handed the crown

No time for wives,

no time for the state.

Hungry wives, hungry state.

Degenerated people.

A new generation was born-

education.
