[bodytext] => When they ask me of my faith Yoruba you are my answer. When asked who was the sky Olorun you are my answer. When asked who ruled below Olokun you are my answer. But still I spit, I spit at those who are in disbelief, spit at those treading on my feet, they know nothing of me but my external front, internally I am in peace, over is the Hunt. Why should I explain, this bracelet on my wrist. Why should I explain, how our ancestors concealed, through the rain will be revealed and in every day gone by, they will always question why, I chose not to just be led force fed a Christian Beef Burger of lies. Slowly I grew to despise, The way I had to believe in something before I was even born, Looking back at all those Nativity plays I simply cringe and scorn. I have found a faith that I feel is truly me, A tradition that worships nature, The ocean and the trees. With this I am content, but I do not need to share… If you find it uninteresting I can’t explain how much I do not care.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
