Oshun Osogbo Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Mother of the river
Osun o! Yeye o!
Ekiti rolls your downstream
Goddess of quiet homes
Wind, breath, rain and healing
Vulture on dark lakeside.


The rose on sweet waters
Ask oshun about fertilities
Ask nurses about deaths
To search another deity
Doesn't makes other better
Osun is our great mother.


Water is life just as wealth
Pay us visits of luck, orisha ire.
For Women, they do no farming
Yet them you find sells in markets
Bless us, bless our handiwork
All we the remains living.
