NIGHT FALLS IN LAGOS

The lights that lights our path
As the street pave way for new look at night
The night falls comes with so much
On the streets of Lagos
The city of so much many to offer

From the hustle and busyness of the day
Transcending to the night crawlers
Those who wake up from the dusk
To keep pace of life on the street
Night falls in Lagos

Some start hustling from the dawn of the morning
While some sleep all through the day
Waiting for the dusk to set in at evening time
Then the night falls comes but the brain
Never falls asleep but awake

Take a long walk out in the evening
On the street of Lagos not leaving a stone untouched
Venture as far as your tired body can carry you
From the street to the highways
Night falls in Lagos

From the one selling off his / her wears
To the one who seat in front of his house
With kids and wife taking a cool gentle evening fresh air
As the kids gather around enjoying the presence of their father
Night falls in Lagos

At the other corner
I saw a father helping out his toddler daughter
On the assignment given by her educator at school
Just there in front of his wife shop with light from the generator
Nights fall in Lagos

Then the high way
There the dawn just broke in the midst of dusk
The brain just beginning in the dusk
The heart races for a better life
Night falls in the Lagos
