Oro o’wo mohn ko pada s’eyin,<br>
Iya re nke lo bi ewure<br>
Baba re nke lo bi igala<br>
Oro o’wo mohn, pada s’eyin.</p>
<p>Corpses’ hymns, dated worships from heaven,<br>
Perchance from it closest neighbour, house of fire<br>
Corpses’ hymns, lo, echoe to the ears, deaf could hear,<br>
Dumb tongues hymn along, reminiscences flip through.</p>
<p>Flip through,cloud amassed tears along Ibadan-Ijaye;<br>
Cloud shed tears, skies are painted with blood, war!<br>
Aye! Peaceful war in labour, bled, heads were sacrifices,<br>
Kurunmi beat drums to war tune, Egbas danced along.</p>
<p>Danced, like the last evening whirling wind,<br>
War written on walls, atmosphere breathed gunpowder<br>
Dead awoke, ammunitions at hand, toy not with death.<br>
Onto Kurunmi’s hands, dead were buried, bloody hands.</p>
<p>Ijaye, hitherto, friendly enemy to Ibadan, Ibadan on fire,<br>
Peace alive, surname to war, peaceful war it was,<br>
Life’s shadows sighted, mingled with deaths<br>
Kurunmi vomitted venoms, along Ibadan they queued.</p>
<p>For whom hold life firmly at heart be warned,<br>
Kurunmi’s death thought lears, life exhausts as vanity.</p>
