Origins (A Poem On Yoruba Cultural Heritage) by Abisoyee(m): 11:14am On Feb 12, 2016
I am Black like Sango
Dark god of thunder
I’m Black like the brackish waters of Osun origin
Black is beautiful like Yemoja
Spirit of the flowing rivers
I am courageous like Afonja
Boisterous general of Yoruba land
I am sorrowful like Moremi
Mother of our children
I am impartial yet brutal like Ogun
The god of iron
I am skillful like the blacksmith
In rooms of dark aura
I am obedient like Oduduwa
Progenitor of Yoruba ancestry
I am Black like the dark depths of Yoruba tradition
I am merciful like Olodumare
Almighty of the mighties
