E-kipa the Serpent
They call him the Serpent, o'er fields his tarns ride.
Bolt after bolt carries flames from his Pride.

The might of Ko-ro-ba, E-kipa did say
would not match his ambition, thus he made his play.

He planned and he plotted, the Black Caste he knew
would come for his head, so a hard line he drew.

The gates he did seal and he brought down his fist.
Thentis was closed. They could not resist.

But, oh, in Ko-ro-ba, they would not stand pat.
They brought the game to him with devious attacks.

So who were the heroes and who were the foes?
With the peasants of both towns hit hardest, who knows?
