There's a popular meme that frequently does the rounds on social media about the devil being afraid when certain people wake up. It always makes me laugh. It also makes me think. Long and hard.

That God laid

On your heart

Day

Month

Season

Thoughts

Actions

Deeds

Ideas

Strategies

Decisions

Only a WHO

And a WHAT

Stand between

Us and

Indescribable joy.

Yoruba, like many languages, is complex and wonderful. One word can have multiple meanings in both mother and adopted tongues.
