On the suburb of Lagos,
Sited a giant structure
A caricature of the Calcutta
stockade
Headed by the radical
activist-Fela Anikulapo Kuti
A shelter to his fleets of
inamoratas and loyalist
A location to his well exalted and unique
musical shrine
A boundary against the corrupt
government
It was a republic within a
republic.
Doom rested its awful head on the
mansion
The early moments of 1977 begot a
dark history
The armed zombies paid a hostile visit
And pounded their frustrations
upon the republic
Screwed the occupants over and
over
Until they quench their thirst of
brutality
His mother was murdered in cold
blood,
Thrown from the highest window
and landed at the feet of death
Darkness looms on them
The kalakuta got razed down
Today, its sits no more
Yet, much ado about the once
exalted republic
