Fear Of This World Scares Me (Egun U'wa' Ra' Tum) Poem by Vincent Onyeche

The Earth spins around the Sun
From day to night spontaneously
Similarity is seen in the cycle of age,
The Earth spins around the Sun.

I'm frightened by the fear of the world
It's not just in the places I'm from.
Each time a young is born while the sun sleeps above my roof
I'm frightened by the fear of the world.

Every birth on earth is a rebirth of same belt
Vipers and scorpions will always be
Like other weaponries in owls, bats and cats
Every birth on earth is a rebirth of same belt.

Hence this life scares me to death
Even heavyweight foot do walk on air
Sight of evil, devilish minds of hatred
Hence this life scares me to death.

In my dialect I'll say; egun u'wa' ra' tum,
For this life has all, few good and many bad
In between many teeth are others flesh and blood
In my dialect I'll say; egun u'wa' ra' tum.
