OLD OYO EMPIRE

Old Oyo Empire
Strong and great
The pre-colonial colonial master it was
Ruled over many land
With it’s headquarter
In Oyo, the pacesetter
Ruled by the greatest emperor
The Alaafin,
Death the father
Death the mother
 The giver and taker of life
 The determiner of destiny
Flanked by his council of chiefs
The Oyomesi,
Very wise and thoughtful
With all the tricks and wisdom in the world
Old Oyo Empire
Brought fear into the ind
 Of any kingdom that hear his name
Through hid might and strong army
Headed by its warlord
Aare Onakankafo,
The greatest warrior
 In his own time
Fearless and dangerous
Rules like a king himself
I wish I had lived then
When its glory was high
But I’m proud that my root
Is the Old Oyo Empire.
