IFA says, “What a pity!”
I also say, “What a pity!”
It is a great pity for the antelope
Offspring of Olu Igbo, Ruler of the Forest
IFA says, “What a shame!”
I also respond, “What a shame!”
It is a shame for the deer
Offspring of Olu Odan, Ruler of the Plains
No matter how large an issue may be
It cannot be dissected with a knife
This is IFA’s declaration to the benevolent
Who was being accused of wickedness
IFA sees the mind
MOTHER EARTH sees the wicked
Those who do well
The heavens surely know
