Learn Mando'a

Akaan means war. The poem is in 5-7-5-7 meter - I wanted to do a haiku, but it just didn't fit with the message I chose. (I used long vowels liberally - sometimes they're part of the meter, sometimes they're not.) They all rhyme according to their meter as well. Ni vercopaani gare emuuri! -0-0-0-0- ...
