Nígbàa ti'a, like today, the firmament alternated between blue and white- dark in the twilight.
In our time, it looked down on us with deluge of hallowing- fructifying bitter leaf and sugarcane
Today, catastrophic heavy torrents and its thunderstorm divulging youthful bosom and barely covered ìkebays

Nígbàa ti'a, like today, Alabi awaited Olabisi under the cherry tree near the rivulet without peril
Today, Alabi still waits, Olabisi still comes- but the Sheriff's watch  survey files of charge- variety panties severed like tissues to douse monstrous desires... Nígbà ti'a abomination!

Nígbàa ti'a, dames were never short- they were levitated by kosher adherence and modesty-
Now, heels seem to make up for a deficit in crasis- erémodé, a thousand heels can't change a dwarf's fate.

Nígbàa ti'a, hard work paid when fused with honesty- it launched to fulfilment.
Hard work still pays now- isn't being a picaroon and a fraudster hard enough to be careers? Inert brains pressing hard on letters- then, preys pay!

Nígbàa ti'a, there was love- it lied in the zest and our sisi called the bluff of the interloping cocoa silver bags
Rara o, I never said love is mortified now- but in your time, love is such a smart feathered creature-It flies away when tough time knocks

Nígbàa ti'a felons were not bigger than the people- in its full regalia, the law smacked like thunder- ask
Ààre Àgò Aríkúyerí or Efúnsetán
But your civility speaks otherwise- law develops a sour throat whenever its web catches the affluent; else law kicks the bucket

Nígbàa ti'a, we erred- we disremembered to stare up at the Unmatched being never to let that moment slip by- we didn't pray and now we are frail...
