THEME: CULTURAL FASHIOM

BRENDA MARTHA

TITLE:CULTURAL FASHION

From animal skin loincloths

To discovering the weaving art

Diversity of cultures across the globe

Out came beautiful clothing patterns

Beading of ocean crusts into necklaces

Beautiful on the long necks of women

And then came the western influence

But they said old is gold

Though change was inevitable

Some ancient touch still remains

In the processing of fabric

And weaving to clothes

Like blossoming flowers

Out amazes the world appealing

To sojourners in our lands.

OYEKUNLE IFEOLUWA

TITLE; CULTURAL FASHION 

Their dark skin makes my heart melt down my spine

as they walk with beads around their waists.

Radiating beauty under the weight of iro and buba

with headgears like rockets launched into space.

Their eyelashes are like heaven on planet Earth

crushing we men like tubers without weight.

They are the angels of yoruba tribe.

They are beauty of this modern age.

Their gap teeth are like entrance into heaven

with no keeper to man the sacred gate.

Their beauty are like divine ointment

and regalia like garments soaked in oats.

Their shoes are like chisels knocking the ground

almost drilling holes to the gates of hell.

They are the angels of yoruba tribe

They are the beauty of this modern age.

Fathers would rock their flowing Agbada

with hands raised to strike a good balance.

Beaming with smile that reveals tribal marks 

with local cap that gives elegance.

Their necklaces are like chains of life

that breathe healing to cold hearts.

They are the keepers of this modern age.

They are the fathers of yoruba land.
