Penastory Poetry: Agidigbo – BRYAN OLUWATIMILEHIN by RothmasPop: 4:27pm On Dec 07, 2015 |
http://penastory.com/2015/12/07/agidigbo-bryan-oluwatimilehin/ Echoing through the wooden emptiness Like ripples on the face of an Osun tributary The voice of wisdom cries out Listen if you must, listen if you will, It is the sound of Agidigbo Only the wise can dance to its rhythm None but an initiate can decipher its meaning For its message must be cryptic, lest it be slighted Regardless, the simple must listen If you cannot dance to it or comprehend its message Have you not ears? Deadly destructive desolation follows ignoring the voice of Agidigbo The gods are just and wise They do not bring ruin before warning Hence, heed the mouth piece of the gods Lest Ogun visits your farming tools with metallic rust And they become as brittle as dry grass Before Oya floods your homes and marketplaces And Sango strikes you in his fiery wrath Before Esu bedevils you with all manners of falsehood and trickery Agidigbo calls, the wooden drum of ancient, ageless wisdom beckons Echoing through space and time Like ripples on the face of an Osun tributary Listen if you must, listen if you will He who the gods will destroy, they first make deaf. http://penastory.com/2015/12/07/agidigbo-bryan-oluwatimilehin/
