Lagos

ISALE EKO (LAGOS) A rooster of discrete tongues Cultur, tradition Where, Zillion specters resonate Quantum croak. Cock crow, Erupts whirl, barge at Alaba Descry of sea of soul cases Kibbling in, out as Emmet over nectar, As husky ell of murk drench dawning, Eviscerate NEPA's spasmodic spitfire To stupor, obloquy. The hindmost geezer nestling, Drenched in diaphoresis of animation of dog days Eludes unforgiving hail of bug blitz, Hallowed howl of ole! ole! Arched in his decrepit nest Deploys a taper Until, Sunup deflowers night jaded sockets As, Resonance of one more Naira To breast billion mark Percase, perforce, precipitating The epogee in mores Rummages his cranium: Top dog never capitulates Vanquish countermands blossom In kernel of hovel, wreck, quagmire From mainlands of Iddo, Bog of Badagry To Favela of Ijora, Ilasamaja Colonize the cocoon Which, Burgeoned Whiz Kid, Davido and Nollywood Confuting phantasm That, Golden fleece Is muted in the jaws of no man's land. A colossus who never unwinds No arrears in innuendos Paris is your headrest Rio de Janeiro your ottoman!
