He has gone to dwell amidst the saints
By that we mean Only those who have done Our world a lot of good
He slept among the wolves,he was not himself One
He lived amidst jackals,yet he ate no flesh
Such is the fate of Legends...
Such fate befalls High Chief Elemure Ogunyemi,whose genre of dialetical Ekiti music is yet unparalled
When Our cultures were drooling towards extinction,he brought them so near
He dreamt about *Ekiti Oneness and unity,and the dream came true while he lived
And Now,he bids the world farewell
Took a giant step to be with his creator
He was a teacher,he was a proverbial clock,he was Our own plato!
Sleep well...
If ever they sing in Heaven,do well to entertain all lovers of tradition and as many Ekiti people there!
I only wish I could tell you,I didn't understand the '*seramo' you sang about
Even Now,I still do not!
But till then,A ti run un kai wa O,Ekiti kete!
