The Haka ~ Unity and Brotherhood

The Haka.jpg

The spirit of the Haka

The intimidating Maori war dance

Performed by rugby sport teams

Of New Zealand

Kills me, makes my blood boil

Drives chills to my spine

Tears to my eyes

Why is it

That this bold public exhibition

Of unity and brotherhood

Affects me in such a way?

What warrior in me lifts his head

At the sound of cries and body slaps?
