Babatunde Aremu - Transparent Life

It is rewarding to be transparent
There is an enduring joy
In living with open mind
A man with two faces
Is like a slippery python
Though beautiful without
Is poisonous within
What is the use of life
If a man's is beguiled with deceit
If my face is holy
If I pretend to love
If I am outwardly generous
Yet my mind is filled with vices
Then my living is worthless
Only those are transparent
Can fulfill divine mandates
