"ema" poems
*My very dear friends and wonderful, international tribe of poets: When I first joined you all last August, I was in a time of deep solitude, culturing inner silence. It became an ideal time to make real progress with my writing. The part I had no idea about then, and that has become such a treasured part of my life, is the growth and blossoming of new friendships with many of you! On June 2nd, 2016, just over a month ago, I felt to open back up to the world around me. After all that immersion in transcendental bliss consciousness, life began presenting me with beautiful new opportunities, which has in turn lead to the most fantastic job I have yet performed, in which I am able to express and employ all of my particular set of talents and abilities. Hence, then, my long absence, and my enormous, growing admiration for those of you who have families, jobs, and also contribute excellent poems here! May the force be always with the poets, the writers, the thinkers, the artists... all the good and sincere well-wishers of our dear world family, and of our precious Mother Earth. Blessings and light to us each and all, Elisa Maria Argirò (I have just re-written this poem that speaks to my present frame of mind, and thought to offer it again in this context. ~ EMA 2016)* Eyes of Light Momentarily, two eye-shaped places in these thick grey clouds stared directly at me, and there it was: "Always be truthful. Always be kind." Just that. A reminder. Slipping down into the place beyond all words, feeling knowingness seeping into my bones, residing in quiet bliss, at home in my own authenticity.

A Poem: "Amotekun Dee" "Kere oh, Omode gbo. T'agba gbo" "Oba ni kin wi fun yin oh!" "Amotekun deeeeeeeee" "Eyin omo Odua, ee gbo mi bi?" "Irorun de, omi tun tun wo lu" "Eyin temi aji lala osho. Eyin Omo okun Esin" "Won ma sare kabakaba" "Mo wi re, tabitha mi o wi re?" "Amotekun deeeeeee" We will block the gap and protect all and sundry We'll patrol with Eagle eyes It shall be "No nonsense here" in our region With robust intelligence gathering and network And we will proceed with extreme caution Within the ambits of the law shall we operate There shall be no sleep for the wicked Peace, it has long eluded our lands We have been invaded by uncircumcised Philistines But not anymore, "O to geeee" Who else knows our terrain better than our locals You got a pass mark my Governors And I am proud to be "Ofe mmanu"" "Ejo, ema je wo ni owo osu oh!" Lest they begin to see friends as foes "Amotekun de...Oju eje...." "Iyalaya gbogbo won" "Koni kaluku di omo Iya re mu.." "A ko fosi rara nile Odua" "Awi fun won ti ti, won jo gbo" Odua a gbewa ooo. "Oya, awon daaa? Gbefunwon kososhi" Why carry guns when we can enchant them? We have been pushed to the wall Our hands on the plough, no going back "This one no be se re se re" "Omoluabi is a talk and do" We stoop and let them trample on us" Little do they know we are fooling the fools Those who thinks they are fooling us Watch it, we can be cunning and deceitful But when it comes to our collective goal The bond that binds us strong And our walls, a mighty fortress In a nutshell, "Ki eku ile gbo o" "Ko si so fun to ojo oh" We are regional and not tribal We will listen before we judge We will treat all fairly as our ancestors did We will not allow the "Cobra Effect" permeate Amotekun This, we all know, is peace at last! Passing Amotekun bill is a legislative masterstroke For all who saw this to fruition May "Eledumare" grant you all your "positive" heart desires "Mo wi re, tabi mi o wi re bi" Amotekun deeee"
