IDUMOTA

Every time I pass Idumota

I love the dangling bridges above the gutters

That reveal dirty roof and rafters

Of humans, all in the street of Ojota



As I pass the bridge of Idumota

I appreciate the divide between the island and Ijora

That mixes emotions in restive Ojuelegba

How the rich makes Lagos a dump of triumph



As I walk the streets of Ajegunle

I feel the pains of Ibikunle

The excesses of Papa Kunle

Impregnating the sister of Kehinde



Is this population not tiring for you Shola?

Why encourage your sister Bola?

To populate the over populated Ijora!

You can imagine what crosses my mind, when am in Ojota!
