Archetypical crown,
that matches with the Alaafin's*
they own
in Ìdèrè: the land of pristine.
I traversed the wilderness,
bent before the lion were the fauna.
Only the tiger could meet the lion with blitheness,
it crawls not before the leo like an iguana.
In the land called *Ìdèrè,
never will the guilty ones be innocents.
Justice is maintained - clear, like the light rays,
amongst every citizens -diligents and faineants.
*Idere is a name of a town in Oyo state, Nigeria. The beaded crown worn by their king is regarded as one of the ancient-days crowns. The crown was never lost to war or thieves for more than a century it's been crafted.
*Alaafin is the name of a powerful king in Yoruba race also known with original crown. All other kings, with their crowns on, are expected to always bow before this powerful king. But the king of *Ìdèrè will never!
