Contemplation on the Odu Iwori Owonrin

Royalty is s meaningless

and outdated concept

created and upheld

by a minority

to suppress the majority

so why is it

that we worship

people with

titles and status

gained through happenstance

or worse

purchased like a 

trinket at a fair

Aren't we all 

Stewards

of this planet

we call home

Bow your head

to no one

and everyone

Reverence 

is not forced by

protocol

or custom

but earned

through 

good deeds

and

great stewardship

of all our

brothers and sisters

Contemplation on the Odu Ofun Osa

Wealth and materialism
tend to run
hand in hand with
fear and anxiety
playmates with whom we
find ourselves in a
never ending game of
hide and go seek
A package deal
you never find one
without the other
their friendship
often leaving us
barely able to move
It really is best to
break free from the
possession
obsession
that threatens to leave you
paralyzed
and instead spend your days
dancing with your
true friend
love
