WEEK 2

BEGGARS IN LAGOS
They are all in the street,

Their souls are seal with hunger.
Their souls are famished
And all are filled with troubles,

•

They are drenched in the moonlight,
All facing trouble.
Sickly they lay hidden in the dark,
Eko home of the beggars.
•
Beggars in Lagos,
They are poor white trash,
They are scrounger,
They are the mortal soul to themselves.
•
Beggars in Lagos,
They work night and day.

As a business men and women.
They are really in anguish.
•
Beggars in Lagos,
At night,
They sleep under the bridge ,
The cold night breeze
On their emaciated body,
•
Beggars in Lagos
Are like a hunters,
They are like the guardians of the night,
All along the boulevard.
•

They cover themselves with canopy
And it serves as a shelter
And free them from the cold weather ,
The beggars are drunk by the cloudiness.
•
Beggars in Lagos
Are nothing but trash in the city,
They are like the electricity
That drags power
And stays in the dark,
•
Beggars in Lagos,
They slowly slowly moves at night.

The beggars ran so fast
And all were lost,
•
Beggars in Lagos
Care for their innocence,

They all are gladdens,
They can feel their presence.
•
Beggars in Lagos,
All cry within tears
As their soul sings a songs,
They all are worries .

WEEK 1

REJECTED GREATS

We are rejected because we're nothing,
We lived in pains for thousand years
But our heart lies with great ,
Why have we been rejected?
•
Our dreams is to be great
But we are contravene,
We were treated like a slave,
Because we seem nothing,but trash.
•
Why are we been molested?
Are we aliens that we are rejected?
Our heart cries in pains
we are like a prisoners in chain,
•
The day shall be record in history,
They think they have done us injury,
All our pains and misery,
Shall be in victory.
