Brunchdi
Hosea 1999 (Modakeke, Osun State)
Brunchdi
No more tea for breakfast
Nor dessert
Breakfast at 12 pm
Dinner at 1 am
The village is sick
No more breakfast but brunch
No more eating to satisfactory but
To quench hunger
Ìlu ò fi ara ro
Hunger is unleash
When the rich cry of hunger
What do you think the poor will do?
No man can boldly be proud of
Three square meal
Only but, "BRUNCHDI"
