Poem
The skies are silent tonight Where is Bidemi? She's where the vultures hovers Jubilating over perished flesh She's where the blood of a man Serves as wealth for another She's where the lifeless lie With headless bodies And blood to serve as wine For evil men with greedy desires Oh Bidemi your end is here Life is short but yours is shorter If only you knew Bidemi That man was a ritualist If only you knew Bidemi That your head was next Will I blame you for this For evil men disguise as saints How were you to know That those wealth were acquired By the blood of innocent girls Who seek a purse of gold And a better life of honey Where comfort is her throne Oh Bidemi rest silent Surely my heart is grieved I shall write your name On a poem of sorrow With my ink of red To say you goodbye I shall cry till this tears Of mine an ocean must create And every salty drop Your name must echo The night still stays silent Till the morning cock came crowing Bidemi's mother woke at dawn To find her daughter's bed empty She troubled not at all And lie awaiting her return Only if she knew That Bidemi will never return Only if she knew That her daughter is dead and gone The skies still stay silent And slowly invites another night Bidemi! Bidemi ! Bidemi! Her mother calls out in tears If only she knew Bidemi is gone To where her words cannot be heard
