AWÈRO

Awèro,
Your voice rings loud in my ear,
Your beauty radiates in my eye,
Your eloquent words sends me weeping.

No Awèro!
This wasn't our agreement.
I curse the day we met,
Behind the village square.

Akanni your plan was successful,
Thank you for ruining my joy.
My smile you erased
With your uncultured staff.

Awèro why?
His words isn't as enchanting as you thought,
His beauty doesn't surpass my own,
His wealth is nothing compared to mine.

Yourself you pronounced cheap,
While you ran off my grip.
Akanni was whom you preferred,
Yet you turned me to ábèlèjáyàn.

I am Emmanuel
