LAGOS City of many nations Ogling at the gulf Lying halcyon on a sandy plain Playing with the ocean breeze The rocks and the mountains are far from its sui generis The springs, the valleys are lost from its locus City overgrown by bricks Centre of amazement and caprices From the suffering smiling lively shanties To those beautiful mean boring villas An allure when exquisites are far Beauty when beast are close City with a difference Convergence of ethnicities Voices of traditions telling tales of cultures Feeble and strong beating the colors of their drums Even under the strength the angry sun emits, The stiffened moon the warm cross embrace City faster than a bullet train Morning and evening like bees they flock Ire sweaty severe faces clashing Beauty easy gentle smiles exchanging Singing, dancing, laughing, weeping Yet on a pushing cart, "life goes on" City for the brave City for the wise On its streets volumes speaks Pictures on every banner reads We Make men, we love clods Because "eko oni baje" ....Highmood 1 Like |
