BAMIDELE
O ba bamidele,o ba bamitale,Oba bamikale,
You came into world of love
and fame,
Having all, lacking none,
Bamidele!
Your birth was echoed over
mountains and seas,
A crowned prince is born,
Hale and hearty was your
birth,
And a glorious celebration
announced your triumphant name!
Mama and Papa demise stole
your childhood
Bamidele, rolled to be
child boy, boy man,
Now MAN of SUCCESS
Tall, rich, no wealthy,
Very wealthy,
Having all but needing one,
A vacuum of love no one can
fill,
For fear of your FURY and PRIDE
Your rage like thunderbolt,
With your tentacles
spreading across the wall,
No one dare stand before
your SANGO rage,
For every damsel that has
befriended you, you’ve burnt,
At last! You met your march
a Raging Storm,
The uniqueness of your
life, the uniqueness of your UNION…
