Lagos
LAGOS
Lagos.
Why have you been so plenty?
Is it because you are near the waters?
Why have you been the commercial sight of men and women?
Is it because you were once a colony of whites?
Lagos is a place of struggle
Lagos is to hard by the shadows of pests that run through the streets of the
islands.
Lagos full of people a difference between the rich and the poor.
Lagos, the world feared by the poor and which make the rich bold.
Why have you been so cruel to strangers?
I know you would stretch their necks
And steal their selves as a whole.
Aliens, beware of nice city.
Lagos, citadel of confusion and the sluggish intellectuals who
In the morning work for money and in the night pay crooks
Lagos thank you for being a place of education and land
To proud of both positively and negatively
