Oba Ojo Gbogbo ( All Days ) Poem by lalaponcus(m): 2:36pm On May 04, 2017
OJO GBOGBO (All days)

Oba Aiku (Monday)
The deathless Dei
Never One to let His own perish in the world of unknowns.
Ever present to pull His own out of the drowning quagmire.

Oba Aje (Tuesday)
The omni-wealthiest, omni-unlimited.
Blessing His own with bread to sustain their bellies;
Good health to sustain their lives;
And stealth to keep them safe from all watchful lurking devourers.

Oba Isegun (Wednesday)
Aja ma yin ibon; Aja bi iji
(Fighting without shooting a gun; fighting like a whirlwind)
Granting us victory at all fronts and rest at all sides.
Infusing strength to His beloved every time life knocks them down.
Concocting diverse strategies to whisk His beloved into exalted thrones in uncharted territories.

Oba Ojo ru (Thursday)
Arugbo ojo; Oba to fi Aye re ru bo fun wa
(Ancient of Days; the king who sacrificed His life for ours)
Everyday year, ever relevant
Every month, ever merciful.
Every week, ever powerful.
Every day, ever 'fanimorous'
Every hour, ever scintillating
Every minute, ever mesmerizing.
Every second, ever waiting to recieve all.

Oba Ojo bo (Friday)
Oba to n bori gbogbo; tin si n pada bo ni ojo kan
(The ruler of all; who is coming one day)
One who gave us the power to be gods on earth (Zoe)
Whose promise never to leave us; remains.
One; whose coming; we eagerly await like a soldiers wife.
One; whose caterers are already preparing a banquet for His beloved.
One; whose hunters have already laid up the numerous games
Oya (antelope), guinea fowl, bush cat, bush rat; all for His beloved to feast on.

Oba Eti (Saturday)
Oba Eleti gbaroye-biajere; Oba ti ko fi wa le ni Eti odo arun
(The patient father who listens to all cries; and never leaves us at the edge of the river of sickness)
Turmoil described our previous state of living.
Our heads boiled and the tentacles of failure coiled round our feet.
Transfixing us in a pool of stagnation.
Until our voice rang out in pain.
Shrill eruptions that pierced the night silence and reached our Father on high.
He heard us and came.
Transforming our darkness into light and drought into rain.

Oba Abameta (Sunday)
Oba meta to ba lori wa. Oba oke to fun Aba wa ni alaafia pipe
(The trinity that rested and resides in us; the God that gives our families peace and rest in completion)
Indeed He completed all on His course to the cross and beyond.
Embracing the whips and stripes just to grant us total healthy rest.
Enduring the gall and crown of thorns just to free us from the taskmaster of pain and shame.
Breathing His last, just to breathe a new lease of life into our new selves which was freed from the bondmaster of Death.
And resurrecting to resurrect our pre-fallen domination over sin, it's master (devil) and its reward (death)

Hallelujah
Oba Ojo gbogbo remains good
