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and outdated concept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
