Tribal Justice

He was frightened as his tribal folks,
Sorrounded him and stared with anger,
The tribal elders gave the verdict,
Hundred larrups to him,
For breaking the laws of the forest,
By allowing outsiders to steal the herbs,
And the methods of preparing medicines,
Their traditional wisdom is priceless, They passed it to the new generation, As per their tradition, With full faith in their youth
Pharma company gave him some money and alcohol,He succumbed to the greed
