Thank You Is Not Enough

Thanks for thy genial generosity
That yanked the yoke of secluded
Intimacy
For the sizzling smile
I wear in a sultry sun

Thanks for the emotional euphoria
Parceled at the tensed hour of impecunious
Puzzle
For thy shrewd profligacy
You are known for

Thanks would have been enough
If I have the willed spell
To cast back in time
And tell you in layman’s way that
I AM GRATEFUL.

Ema pe ori mi nibi
Ema fi eke yan ipin mi
mo ti yan ire lati orun wa
bio' ba da to, ma tun yan

Oriburuku nse ayanmo
Beni osi nse kadara
Base fe ori, beni yio ri

''Don’t psyche my destiny for bad
For choose for me in deceit
I have chosen what is best from heaven
If it is not good enough, I’ll chose again

To be unfortunate is not my destiny
Also poverty is not my portion
As we want to be, so we’ll be''
