Again you have come
crying into this world
like you were forced to come
but we see your charred toes
and the marks on your cheeks
tell tales
that you have severally been here
Why wouldnt you let mama's womb be?
she cried for you to stay
but you turn deaf ears to her pleas
Your short life
is a spell of sorrow
Mother runs helter skelter
when you start your fits
and your cries
she begs the dibia
so many sacrificies he prescribes
but away you still go
joining your brethren in their kingdom
You cause us great confusion
in this labyrinth of your life
come and go no more
Go and come no more
so mother's womb
can boast of other children
