{POEM}: ONE CORNER


Godliness feeds on form,
religion is morality and
morality doesn't exist
without a devotional corner -
A holy Communion with Idotobest so One Corner


Godliness feeds on form,
religion is morality and
morality doesn't exist
without a devotional corner -
A holy Communion with *Idoto*
best soothes the soul;
Then,which holy land behooves
a holy deity?
A valley?
A tropical grassland?
No! One corner in my room
Is what great Idoto aspires.

In this corner,
knees kisses stony floor
but isn't seduced ...
Forehead attracts dust like magnet,
communication are passed in whispers -
In this corner, white as snow,
gods commune with mundane men
and wrinkled dreams be restored;
In this corner, the confluence of
moralism, religionism and spiritualism,
Idoto grants requests.

This corner is a lighthouse …
The deities grove ...
A war ground ...
This one corner is fela's kalakuta ...
It's that shrine beside the osun river ...
It is a powerhouse ...
This corner is all Idoto requires.
