Head Hunting

British heads, Japanese heads Chinese heads....all became coveted Trophies in savage Borneo centuries ago, The adventurous spirits of the foreigners Versus the overwhelming fervours of Local tribesmen to add to their head collections Resulting in something quite unsavoury. A familiar scene in retrospect...hundreds Of tatooed parang wielding tribal men Descending on another tribe, an ocean going ship Or a longhouse....turning the chance meeting Into a grisly bloodbath chopping off heads, Lopping them off into wicker baskets and Carrying them off as prizes to prove their Their manhood and to renew their fortune. No skull meant no bride for a man in old Borneo fuelling the vibrant headhunting tradition All over the island then.Headhunting? Anyone?
