"YORUBA AND POWER: OBATALA" BY XENIALINK

I am a King!

I am the fire that rise from the ocean

The wet sand that never dry

The hot stone that freezes all

The smallest hand that guard nations

I am a man that birth both male and female

I am the water that heals

I am the being that you can't see

I am not here but I am alive

My powers are inevitable to any kind

I control death

I choose when death kills

My strength is enough to hold the universe

I rule the Yorubas

The world is powerless to me

My name is Obatala!
