Poseidon: The Lagos Effect. by phoenixthefirst(m): 11:36am On Jul 09, 2017
Wayfarers turn seafarers
With little or no preparation
As legs become boats
Since vehicles become redundant

As homes become seas
Property-floating body of water
Mattresses soak and become larger
As small quantity of garri doubles
After intentionally being left
To, by a pauper, soak for increase
Fake increase devoid of delectability
I mean

A man in the flood
Whose dejection covered face
Told only half of the damage
Of the city's planlessness
Who walked with indirection
I saw

Plus I saw
Efforts by the unaffected
Living on the Mainland
And other parts of the country
Or perhaps other parts
Of the heterogeneous states
Mocking the affected
Something that cuts deeper
Than a two-edged sword
In its mercilessness
Deeper than the extent
Of the flood
In the affected's psyche
So sunk

Some of the affected united
In some ways though
As some, I guess, plan to co-habitate
In the interim
Solutions, self-solutions, are underway

Painting with words to express oneself, either in letters or orally.
