Poetry: The Double Gifts By: Maiyaki Abubakar Damilare


To the Northerners in dilemma about where to worship,
Please search no further!
To the Westerners in dilemma about where to worship,
Please search no further!
To the Southerners in dilemma about where to worship,
Please search no further!
To the Easterners in dilemma about where to worship,
Please search no further!

Since henceforth I declare,
That my abode becomes a shrine.
Since henceforth I declare,
That my backyard is now the den of sacrifice.
Since henceforth I declare,
That my sitting room is now sacred.
Since henceforth I declare, 
That my living room is now a place of worship.

Oh yea who wants!
Come quickly with your Kola.
Oh yea who desires!
Come quickly with your cock.
Oh yea who seeks!
Come quickly with your sacrificial lamb.

For the deities of Ibeji are here.
For the deities of multiplicity are here.
For the deities of abundant blessings are here.
For the dwellers of "Isokun" have come to bless us.

I am dazed at the miraculous birth of twins,
Just when I prayed for a baby.
Who shall I tell,
That in a single womb, two babies dwell?
What shall I say?
When the double blessings come my way?
For one I gave, but two I received.
