Ibomirin sinu oda,
Isun omi sinu akojopo yanrin,
Itutu ninini sinu idapara,
Ikoore sinu gbingbin
Ajorin sinu idarin
Apon sinu igbeyawo
Iporuru sinu alaafia,
Iparun sinu olanla
Emi sinu ara,
Ara sinu ile.
FLOW
We flow into each
Other as a rule of life:
Stream into river
Rivers into ocean
Roads into town,
People into workplace
Time into spaces,
Place into history
Things into beings,
Persons into things
Night into day,
Dark into light
Wetness into drought
Oases into dunes
Evergreens into rust
Harvest into planting
Company into solitude,
Single into couple
Chaos into calm,
Ruins into magnificence
Spirit into body,
Body into soil
