The Mighty From A Wonderland Poem by Olorode Olorunleke

THE MIGHTY FROM A WONDERLAND
Stay away from my bay
Oh the mighty from a Wonderland,
Like the part of the red sea to Canaan land.
Our children and wives
Daily sing your songs for miracles that storm us
Through your birth.
Oniyan bamagbe kobanidaro aro,
Oniyan to bamo aluko nbani daro osu,
Oniyan to bamolekeleke banidaro efun.
Ah nkan sele, emowolu reyi
And it's hidden from us.
With a friendly smile you play us your roll,
Just like the police in my country
Implicate people for refusal to get fifty box.
Can we say that we have been the cane lashing ourselves?
Oh democracy we are grateful for making us crazy,
With a good look umbrella they came
Not knowing that they are pigs
That will later put us in the mud.
Thinking that they will shield us from the rain of poverty.
Oniyan tanikofeniloju, oyiatalofirenu.
We swept them out,
With joy we swept them out.
That our mind is focused on the broom
To do the final cleaning.
Without knowing that we have picked the broom from mud.
Oniyan lamipe kowasejoba
Laimope egbere losorifunwa.
Blindfolded with cries that our country daily bath in blood.
Oogun o iwonimope
Olominile fejewe is the broom we love
In order to embrace religious tolerance.
Democracy! You are the mighty from a Wonderland.
Don't you see your siblings from other countries?
And how they are making life comfortable for all.
Sleep tight in a reasonable sleep
That by this time tomorrow morning
A bag of rice will be sold for 2k.
