Ẹ̀ta òkò

Description

Ẹ̀ta òkò is the name given to triplets
Three masterpieces that cannot be assailed
Three shimmering stones
birthed into a home.
You who hold a thousand promises
For you’re bound to ride on the crest of waves
Where your detractors have failed.
Ẹ̀ta òkò the offspring of Wòyírà
A penchant for luxury
Three fops
Who never lose their magnetism
At where they are ensconced.
You are the Red Canary
Who adorned itself with camwood
And left its arms, unachromatic
As a vestige of dandyism.
Offspring of an undeviating effigy
The more you look after them, the better you become
for their divination is budding and inseparable.
