Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

At the Long Run

At the Long run
We all started same time
But never finished same time
Some run faster
Some run so slow 
Some fainted at the way 
Some couldn't handle the race
At the long run

At the long run 
We started this journey together
We were tired of Africa 
Cos the suffering was much 
We were willing to find life 
Else were much more better 
Than we got at home 
Cos poverty was the drive 
To the speed of this long run
We left our home like 
As if we are been chase 
Of curse the system does

At the long run
The race was hard 
Our journey was not easy
The road were though
It was a great experience
But difficult to memorize
Cos it experiences was long
At the long run

At the long run 
Do we have a choice
We do but the chances 
Are little 
We don't want to depend
On tribal wars
We don't want to be victims
Any longer 
Freedom was our ultimate
Desire 
So the race started
And till date 
So many innocent 
Africa youth still partake
At the long run
