Irete-Oyeku

Oh dear, what is it now? Let us think this over,
and cool our heads and minds before going on!
There he is, the man who wants to work for us,
the one who says that he will make us rich, and says
that he will be the best servant in the world! Coolness
now, coolness is required, for this person
is not the right one for the job! Beware, employer,
that intelligence is not sufficient, but that
introspection and selfcriticism are also important!
Do not emply the one who applies now,
for he well work for himself - not for you.
Make an offering to your Ori, to help you
see things clearly, and not make
rash decisions.
