Moremi Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

MOREMI

She hit harder than catapult,
Cook seas and drink its salt;
Your game on the ugboland was a bilk,
Moremi, the fiery cow men fears to milk.


Missed many roads for the tars,
You were wronged by your ears;
But found your gold and gave it away
To gain freedom for Ile-ife in her way.


Where's the vow that you made?
The cows you took from your trade
After you have stoned an eye for eye?
To meet Esimirin-spirit of the riverside.



But Oluweri won't chew on kolanut slice,
Olurogbo your only child is the sacrifice;
Moremi, Brave men will immortalize your name.
Women cries better, let them cry the shame.
