The Unwanted Priest

Only on his palm were cowries And thread-cloaked bullhorn found. Only on his neck we found The coral beads of truth and courage. Only on his hands lies the Pearl of selflessness and Emblem of Pedantry. Only on his waist we found The girdle of love for others. Only on his head we found The cap of consistency and assiduity. Ever with him is the rod of Moses Meant for the struggle for freedom. There rose the Priest of the High With gourds of power up the tower. Though unwanted by few boot-lickers But sought after by truthful million others . Garbed with knowledge of truth Embroiled only in unique intrepidity Gifted with the power of oratorical wizardry Endowed with atypical clouts of pen dotting. Of a hunter christened “Odebowale” Whose enemies never wanted his return. Of an academic hunter whose fellow Truthful hunters love with passion. Of an intellectual hunter whose Animals love so dearly. Of a hunter with a rare astuteness Unto whose brain they hunted and discovered Six new scrolls for the kingdom of life. Of an unwanted Priest with a resolute spirit Upon which he rattles the hypocritical piety Of a guile called “Ifa Priest” With The so called magic wand. Of an unwanted Priest with the salvo That makes them trembles in treble. Of an unwanted sapient Priest who Wish not to subsidize their ignorance For their foolishness en route vindictiveness. But Unlike their “Ifa Priest” whose custatory For sanity drank from the bowl of insanity The headmaster of our Universe du City in “Ibadan” Whose goal is sanctimonious display Of avarice for resources looting with pillaging. Of them with the insidious plan to rain The Odebowale family with hurricane of hunger, Of him the “Ifa priest” whose time is no more today, Of him the Universe du City’s headmaster yesterday A name remembered only in the black book of men. Upon him is the crown of an unwanted “Ifa Priest”.
