He is to traditional African faith.
What Imam is to the mosque,
respectively...
***
Untying the knot,
Of man‘s creation.
*
He is ONISEGUN
Toiling beneath the light of the moon.
Resonating words of power,
With leaves, bone and root in hand.
Chanting incantation tunes.
*
He is BABALAWO
Craftsman of spoken words, WISDOM.
Primordial savior of souls...
Through third dimension ODU Motifs
IFA’S...Ancient celestial portal.
*
He is conductor of DESTINY.
Shaping.
Molding.
Wounded character,
Healed.
*
He is HUNTER
Ijala cantor ...
The incorporeal beast salutator
Respecter.....Of Iku’s chosen feast.
*
This MAN.
Is No Ordinary Man.
He is the reflection,
Of Ela’s beacon of Eternal Light.
Embracing pure altruisms,
Illuminating eternal principles
The mystical metaphysician,
In his own right.
