Whose affair is of great importance

[Atelemuyen]

Bit by bit
It cometh bit by bit;
Who weigheth up to the Almighty?
Bit-by-bit is the way one would feed on wild vermin
Who weigheth up to the Ruler of the Heavens?
Bit-by-bit is the way one would feed on sea food
Honoured highly is he/she that travelled over waters and seas to return with great blessing
In the craddle of existence, who weigheth up to the Most High?
The robustness of a mammoth is never contested; nor the stoutness of a buffalo; nor the finesse of a fine piece of clothing; nor the greatness of an intelligent leader.
Measured in length or breadth; a hand stretched to the heavens has a higher reach than the entire upper body; just as the leaves of a tree has a higher reach than its counterparts.
Dense or not, a forest will not conceal the height of a towering fortress; as playing an orchestra fails to conceal the sound of a hammer striking a gong;
As is the squawking sound of a heron uttering ‘’témi-y’ọri, témi-y’ọri’’
Whose affair is of great importance?
A plant germinates and sprouts, reaching the roads and paths
As is the squawking sound of a heron uttering: ‘’ mine be of great importance, mine be of great importance’’
Clearly, it is the affairs of the Heavens’ that are of greater importance.
