IFE

Today
My mind sings a lullaby
Not to lure you to the place of sleep
But to lead you to the place of Love

I will build you a castle of words in the air
Hanged by no magical thread
I will spell your name IFE!
on the ancient silks from persia

I will stand by the gate of ile-ife
I will walk the roads of Eko-ile
Preaching your tale, even along
the banks of Osun-Osogbo

Ife! Aduke might trump you
In the battles of buttocks and breasts
But trust me, my head will find
Peace on their sumptuous grounds
