Lagos Poem by Matthias Pantaleon

Lagos



The city of dreams
Sparkling aura with awe
Ilu ti ina wa - city of light
Little bubbles of gold in the sun

They follow our lead
They are too blind to see
They try - there is no contest
They make fuss - we make the buzz

Standing atop the pinnacles
There is no glory to share
Who dare throw stones
There is no foe to spare

Lagos - my city never sleeps
Because nightmares besiege sleeping cities
