One who poops
May forget,
Not the one
Who washed it
Cast Ifá for
The sadists in Ile Ifẹ
In conjunction with
Their vicious elders
Who were advised
To turn a new leaf
But refused
The sadists in Ilé-Ife
You are wicked
The elderly
Are more vicious
Why would you
Poop on the floor
And compel Ilé-Ifẹ̀ infants
To pack with
Bare hands?

Elders are given the responsibility of modeling right leadership to children. Whatever parents, religious leaders, political leaders, community leaders do have a direct impact on their Children.
In the case of corruption that perverse the world we currently live in, we can see, from our knowledge of history, how the present generation of youths are having to bear the brunts of the untoward decisions of their elders in ages past.
Take Nigeria for instance, certain people who would be called Elders of those days took the decisions that led to the sovereignty of their lands being given out to a group of persons, maybe, for pecuniary gains that the deal presented to them and their immediate family.
They could be said to have sold out the land, the future of their own children for the immediate gain. They have defecated, now, the younger generation is having to use their hands to pack it.
This Ifá is calling us to understand the implications of our actions. Our actions have far reaching consequences either for good or for bad. It is important to check the kind of seeds that we are sowing, because whatever we sow as leaders in any ramification, is what those coming behind will have to deal with - they either praise, or curse you.
Let's endeavor to do right in all ways.
May Olódùmarè send Alatunse to Ilé-Ifẹ̀.
