SURPRISES ON SISTER WURA'S WEDDING DAY!
My Dear Sister,
On Your Wedding Day,
We came to your Wedding
And we saw you.
But this was not the face
We used to know.
The Make Up Artiste you hired,
For N60,000 had changed your face,
To the face of a Cat.
The Eye-Lashes had become longer with an Extension,
And the eye-lid had worn multiple-colours, Like the skin of a cameleon.
My Dear sister,
Where were those beautiful
Simple tribal marks of an Osun State Town that we know you for?
Those natural facial hallmark that
Made you famous among the brethren?
We all know you wear
Those faint beautiful tribal marks
And you have been known for it?
But now, on your Wedding Day,
It was another face we saw entirely.
Oh! Our Wonderful Sister's face has changed!
Sister Wuraola! Where did you get those nails like the Claws of hawk?
You said you paid the Make-Up Artiste to do her job.
But must the MUA turn your
Face to something else ?
Must the MUA use your face
To advertise her professional skill
On your glorious Wedding Day?
My Dear Sister Wura!
Don't you have your own box of Powders?
The simple facial-wipes and Foundations and those powders
That had been enhancing your Natural Beauties we had known
You for, long before now?
Why did you allow
The Facial Make-Up on
Your Wedding Day to remove
Your Natural Beauties
You have been known for?
Sister Wura's face has changed
On her glorious Wedding Day!
She has put on a Mask we did not
Know for her.
But tomorrow morning,
When Sister Wura begins her Honeymoon,
Her face will come back to
What it really was.
On the Wedding Day.
The Guests were all deceived with her strange make-up Mask,
But tomorrow, those Beautiful
Osun State facial tribal Marks
Shall appear on their tracks again.
Today, we have all been Deceived!
Tomorrow, we shall all be Restored.
Today, the Make-Up Artiste has her day.
Tomorrow,
Her face will resume its naturalities.
Our Dear Sister Wuraola,
You wore Deceptions on Wedding Day, and put on the face that was not yours.
You wore a Mask. It is OK.
The Wedding Day Deceptions are over.
It is just a One-Day Gallery show
On the most Sacred Day of one's life.
But, Please, Sister Wura.
No Make-Up Artiste can work
On your Marriage Life.
You have to Work it out Yourself.
The major Powders you need
On your face for your Marriage Life
Are Foundations of Patience, Love,
Submission and Heart of Forgiveness.
Happy Married Life!
Sister Wuraola.
