Adebimpe, the African Beauty

ADEBIMPE Going through this life at a frenzied pace It's clear why we call it human race I saw a piece of carefully gathered stardust A desire for every parent Adebimpe, a true definition of Omoluabi Ornamented with great courtesy Is she from this generation? Is she for this generation? Within bounds how do I keep this admiration? With her modesty which confined me in amazement More admirable is her compassionate heart With a house of the soul devoid of deception A little girl with qualities of a good mother I've met Alara I've met Aresa But none is anywhere near her I've met Olugbon I've met Ajero They appeared not in her row When she writes, I bet it Thou shall re-read till thy wide grey eyes are ensnared And glued to the awe-inspiring handwriting When she reads, I bet it Thou shall listen till thy ears are ensnared Through her eloquent free flowing articulations Her ornamental expressions are like apples of gold Set aside in a silver filigree When she sings, Where art thy sorrows? Forgotten in few seconds Her sonorous voice, the envy of birds When she cooks, Sedately, the condiments she blends The aroma of her food, enough a food Her use of locust beans, The envy of housewives When she dances, I bet it Thou shalt hate dancing For even a cockroach would do it better Upon all the lofty mountains shall I vocalise her admiration For my palate in low tone utters truthfulness I shall proclaim her modesty I shall invite birds For behold we shall sing a song of a young African girl I shall send an invitation to the stars For we shall illuminate the sky In return, a beautiful panorama shall we have Let the earth rejoice For this girl is one in a trillion Let the unborn children remain anxious For they shall live to tell their offsprings Let the mountain shout for joy Let the leaves rise and dance Let the insects sing and rustle about Let the rat embrace the cat With full acceleration, Let the snails rush down With a heart full of joy and enthusiasm, Let the tortoise outrun the horse In a bid to behold Adebimpe. O! heavens, may I look on thy holy radiance? O! good God, to my humble supplication, Do give ears Let every child adopt her style And we shall retrieve the gone good generation N.B: 'Omoluabi' is a term used by the 'Yorubas',in Nigeria, to refer to one who is well-cultured. 'Alara, Aresa, Ajero' are used to depict different categories of people ever graced the land.
