A Mission To Ilaashe... Poem by Murtaza Micky Yusuf

A Mission To Ilaashe...



Mission Ilashe
The Samaritans regale in Green colours
In White horses they rode
A motoring from Lekki, Ikeja and Surulere
On Ijegun Egba Jetty they landed
Alight on land and board a ferry
Aboard on a calm lagoon ride
The ferry rides on Lagoon waves
Ilashe here we come
A mission land on her territory
Iya Mukaila's sandy colony
Shovels, rakes, packers and gloves at work
Ilashe glows and smile
The tidal waves races faster
A colorful race back and forth
The palm trees and Coconut delight
No visitor can resist her beauty
Ilaashe is a must see fantasy
~MurtaZa Micky Yusuf
