…THE CONSEQUENCE…
The deaf can hear
The blind can read
The dumb can say
.
The silence in the voice
The message from the noise
The music in the deafening sound
The letters in the fog
.
How dare you?
Who are you?
Ki lo gbemi
Who is deceiving you?
That makes you want to talk to them
.
They’ve lived before you
Fought wars in your history
Tread the path you are walking
Wrote the books you are now reading
.
You ask to see them
You want to call them
You must be dreaming
.
Listen!
The lady that ignores Oro
Oro magbe!
Tell her this
Write it on the wall
For her Daniel to interpret
.
For the deaf can hear
The blind can read
The dumb can say
The consequence
.
