Tell me about…

The earth was very close to the earth
Almost at a touch of the hand
Olodumare, the creator of heaven and earth
Gave instructions to the earth
Don’t take food that you cannot finish at a seating
But man was greedy and took more than they could eat
Olodumare was angry and moved the heavens up beyond touch
Orunmila, his chief priest, was left to fend for humanity
He fashioned men and women
And they journeyed far into the wild
When they were tired
They settled on a land
He named it Ile Ife because that is where he found love
He made Oramiyan king over the land
Who gave birth to other priests and inhabitants
That became the Yoruba kingdom
