Tribal Heritage

Time is different in its fulfilment 
Yoruba status is unique in its path
Western education isn't enough reason to activate its abandonment 
Black soap is good for bath 

Worthy is informal education 
Which equips the brain scans 
I am made unique in its adaptation 
Well enriched in the history of my clans 

Face of the earth 
Mask of heaven 
Ritual to death 
Done in seven
