An Ode To High Cheif Esievo

High cheif peter Esievo,the ugherughe 
1 of Agbon kingdom
far beyond bars your fame has spread
in the lips of school boys sings forth 
your praises.

From the mouth of poor mothers 
echoes forth your name in melodies
the gray-headed men pours out of 
their wisdom  incannation and 
libration of blessing.

The strength of youth and their agility 
you did reward and makes them 
wear an always smile.

You are the famous BIG  MIKE, an 
image of the benevolent God 
JEHOVAH, God of the heavens.

His sun and rain he gives freely on 
both the  good,bad and the urgly,this 
too you have shown.

Vain is the dog who cheases after an 
elephant,may same before your foe.

The more you take from the sea sand, 
the more it becomes. May same 
before your wealth.

The tales of your good acts birth forth 
from the lips of mr G.T,the boy who 
made ovu proud and other kindred 
folks.

And so i, a poet bleeds forth from my 
quil these praise lines.

Ovu and oviorie
says thank you
''BIG MIKE''.
