CALL OF THE ANCIENT

I want you all to cognize "rustic dwellers",
See carefully with your projections
as you murder your eyes and open the sight of your minds,
Organize a feast in honor of the death of your unknowingness today

Liquidate the thriving sound from the drum of atheism in your nous,
Listen people,
Listen to the exquisite clamouring call from the telegraph,
Listen again, listen cautiously to the deafening call

Yeye had to swim from ages to ages through the cable to say:
"Ikeji Orisa, The image of the deity,
A kangaroo will never let go of her child despite her vigorous stunt display,
Never bathe in the curse of blaspheming against the river goddess,
Your inflicting hunger causes me to flip my wings to make the river restless
Never say no Moja, you all can't do without Moja
Trees acknowledge me by depicting me,
The wind speaks of my greatness accompanying the ungratified sea,
Never say my mouth smells like your prudent mind
Alas! we cause him to sleep under the tree of Ewe Jenjoko as our voices echo in his head;
"Observe the oceans's wave as it whoops the praises of Yemoja the Mayelowo and Olomo
Prick your ears to bata as it speaks the words of Sango,Oba yonagona,who you dare not stand on falsehood with.
Read with your inner eyes the inscription on the blacksmith's bellow as the hunters sing ijala ode for Ogun afi aso ina bo'ra
Listen to the land,with all its brings forth,as it bears witness of Orisa Oko
Feel the tremors of the mountains and the crying of the sky as Ewo is played for Obatala,Orisa nla, ayanfe Olodumare
Follow the cry of your dead, those that came before you and the melodies of the birds as they fly happily in the firely wind that proclaims Oya"
Heed to the voices of Ikin and Opele in the guidance of your people, for they are the atupe of Orunmila eleri ipin, arinu ro de
For all these are evidence that not even the emergence of an evolved twilight will extinguish the call and worship of the ancient...
