Speak,Orunmila speak!
What is beyond my knowledge,tell me
Whisper to me what the gods say of me
Dig me to my very existence
Into my become a creation that I want to see.


Speak,Ba'agbonmeregun,speak!
Why is all these problems chasing me?
And in early grave the grief is planning me
Why is all these mysteries,take me on a life tour?
Tell me,so I may become a general in life war.

Speak,sixteen elders speak!
It is you who stand four-four in the four cardinal corner
What news of me did the winds had you bother?
The waters don't say anything in this war-like-life of me not?
And the sands speak of me not?

Speak Igbaagba,speak!
That he may swim in the pool of his children in his compounds
That he may have someone to house his house when his days to house the house ends
that your children may live a liveable life
Tell him what to do,that he may live a honey-full life.

Speak Ogun,speak!
What must you collect to will him hunt-free?
That he may prove to be his wife's husband: bound and free
That he may feed his very children out of game you will him
What must he do? Tell him.

Speak Sango,Speak!
So I wouldn't see your red face
So your thunder would not split me to two; be me your sin it will face
That I may conquer in warfront because you back me up
Not defeat because your bolt weak or after enjoying women,you are just waking up!

Speak gods,speak!
That I may have victory over life and its tribulations
That I may live this life without fearing repercussions
That for a long time,my sons may father me and my daughters may mother me very well
That when my eyes are closed,my soul would be asleep becuase it lived well.

"Beside me (you)?!" Are you quoting a scripture or is this your own say?
