Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Lagos Lyric (Poem)

Yeah I got you Oshodi oke is such a rudimentary New York Gate of the early Americas that a typical poet writer can hardly pass under or above the cluster of bridges there without stabilising a few lines of poetry that's restless- paradoxically restless because all are actually want to be like Jesus - even My Father works.

Beautiful 

Bus stops broadcasts.

"Oooshooodi oookeee!",

"Abuleee Eeegbaaa!",

The bus stop boys broadcast.

"Breeediii!"

"Agege breeediii!"

Bose

The bus stop beauty 

Broadcasts.

I strolled

Into the silent heaven

Named Sunflag suites.

My eyes roamed 

The royal surrounding,

Heaven is real on earth.

But 

The bus stops are better,

They are busy With humanity.
