Masked with face coverings
Yello, Red and may colours varies
"Kaleta" we call them in my local vicinity
dancing to get money all in the name of festivity
before civilization, a great admirer of wonderful dancing abilities
life was simple with little atrocities

seeing them now I shook my head
a disgusting face i tried to pretend
the world is more civilized i thought
"civilised" "civilised" my brain raced back to default
a shame to my heritage I had been, I am the one at fault.
