BACK TO FRONT
(The state of Bahaushe)
Yesterday you’re a king
Today an urchin
Yesterday, kingdom you owned and slaves
Today nothing but humiliation
Yesterday your dignity scudded like cloud
Today is trampled heavily down
Yesterday your words were so expensive
Today’re marked down like an old shirt
Yesterday you are praised and loved
Today you receive hate like devil
Yesterday your wife’s preserved like pearls
Today so exposed like a street light
Yesterday you ascend over them all
Today you descend like a water fall
Yesterday my tribe is different from yours
Today Nigerians merge the tribes together
I am Fulani you are the other
You know yourself please take correction
By returning to your good etiquette
Of yesterday O! My Bahaushe
