#Poem: Reincarnation (Atunda)








As pharaohs reborn
Our foreman:
mule us into stones carriers
Turn us into strawless brick makers
And steel their hearts against our cries

Like reincarnated neros
Our CONDUCTORS:
Fiddle with their guitars
Made of our skin, bone and ligaments
While our abode Burns
In congraflation of hate and injustice
as new caligulas
Our ZOO keepers:
Butcher and hack us to pieces
Caged animals under them
While they enjoy the show.
Like our tribal chiefs of yore
Our LEADERS:
Bribe and are 'bribable'
While bullets and mirrors equates a man in the old.
As reincarnated bourbourns
Our CHARGE DE AFFAIRES:
ask us to eat cakes
while depriving us of bread.
we are statues in their court s
to be pawed, ignored and unsatisfied
Like chakas of old
Our LEADERS:
Witch hunt us and milk our sustenance
carving their destines on our heads and we wait and hope for the savior and our MESSIAH .
unknowing that we are the savior because they can't exist without US.
why then...why?
can't we withdraw our support like the Israelites? the Praetorian Guards? and the Frenchmen?
..

Teaching on Ẹ̀rìndínlógún (16 Cowrie Shells of the Orisa Tradition ) - Baba Odùdúwà

Image
Ẹ̀rìndínlógún in the old way of using it: Baba Odùdúwà: In ancient times, the "Cowrie Shell" was used whole. They didn’t took the belly out (the womb) as it done now in many places, when the full Cowrie was used (without opening the "belly"), the reading of the Oracle was something different, if the Cowrie Shell falls with the belly up, this means that it does not speak.
