Ayanmo
Before existence once existed
Ayanmo your picture still glitters
in between the unseen, untouched hall
Ayanmo you out shine.
Sharpened with blades of sleepless nights watching how life stripped me naked of the boat that sailed my cargo from the port to the sea shore Ayanmo! You were there beholding them yet in still voice you outpour it to be written.
Ayanmo! Days of malice kept with yesterday after being flogged to key to tears laying me down on the bed of suffering that withheld the once zeal i had when given visa to live on earth.
Back in those days
basking under the grace of parenthood
waking up to foods by-side
leaving up to stand in society
speaking even with all ease
relying on wealth
but you ayanmo
you retraced your step back
crawled into my plans
awry my supporting bones
squeezed zeal and threw me into hell of poverty.
Ayanmo! You are a true dog
that stays even when its owner
finds it hard to feed it
yet keep guard.
Ayanmo!
If you can work it out
why not make life easy.
* Ayanmo means Destiny
Hail Thee
Sound the alarm
around the axis of Zion
let the bell ring
in the corners of the tabernacles
as we Hail Thee.
Stretch forth rods
lay them aside
spread down the wares
across the prints
as we Hail Thee.
Hail Thee!
Hail Thee!!
Hail Thee!!!
Say it out unto lanes
let stars attest
moon confirm
sun thumbprint.
Thanks for this once more. You rock
