And could count our teeth with our tongues

And could laugh hard enough to douse the village gelede band
Maybe we will understand why the prince could cook for the village
But when the village cooks for the prince, he fishes in troubled waters

by Ololade Raji
Still astonished by the deceit for vanities
And surprised by the frivolities of assumed fortunes

With notes of deceit, they bought things and time
Armed with their pernicious game without Your plans
Fervently painting with lacklustre hues, a pseudo picture of an assumed future
Yet with a sordid gloom, they expect a candescent glow
