Bara roams our streets The ubiquitous grins Vultures circles our skies Our land painted in reds The Folly laughs Bara, Okunrin kukuru, Okunrin gogoro Okunrin peke bi ori atana Esu abani woran bi a orida A yi kondu seyin eleyin O soro ana di moran Koju ti mo. Bara Visits Our water, turned sour His moist hands, he dips in our meal Down he gulps our share Hungry he leaves us. Egunugun keeps watch Praying to Bara for more Orisanla, wisdom we pray for To navigate through these tough times For Bara has come to stay. by Amudipe Opeyemi Marcus
