Rasaq Gafariabiodun Ombada Poem
I will rise
You may write me down in history,
With your bitter twisted lies.
You may tread me in the vary dirty
But still like dust, I will rise.
Just like moon and like sun,
With the certainty of tides
Just like hope springing high,
Still i will rise one day
You may shoot me with your word,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hate, but still
Like air, I will rise.
To bring the gift my Ancestor gave.
I am the dream and hope of the stave.
I rise! I rise!! I rise !!!
Look for me in the highest
On the mountain, you will find me there.
Looks for me beside the river side.
You will find me there without mirror.
Look for me beside the Akee apple tree
I am the one like brown dove
I rise
I rise at last.

The glory of both the young and old,
a site for everyone to behold.
Iseyin a place of greatest man who distinguished by exceptional courage with nobility and strength.
A town with many wonderful talents.
My town,
A beauty to uphold.
The only land that brought memories of neighborliness and everyone together as same family.
Ho ISEYIN belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively.
For who wrenches it from itself.
For who sharp it, render it, and love it so radically that he remake it in his own best image.
Iseyin when i figured out what i love about you, i seen i had many to say.
My love for my town make me see ISEYIN as the best TOWN in the world.
I see it as different town, just as i hold different object.
I found my town on planet, your image so new, your regular maps have few surprise,
I was happy because NO place like My town.
Hoo when i got lost in a really strange place, nothing is more comforting for me again than going back to my city.
So you see: ABIODUN's heart is held forever to promote this iseyin with my little ability.
Ok, so me a thoroughly satisfied place in the world and i will show you that #ISEYIN IS MY OWN BEST TOWN.
