Emmanuel Jegede - The Dance of Nature

Orin Inu - My work is a dance

My work is a dance,
A warm dance in a cold world.
My work is a flower
that needs water to sing.
My work is a sacrifice to nature.
My work is preaching in a world dancing.
unbalanced dance;
while some dance on Gold
some are forced to dance in mud.
Yet nature is kind to us all.
