Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Can You Hear Me Father

can you hear me father

skeletons are always common
in their secret cupboard

cos their hands are washed 
in innocent blood 

they build a world 
not accommodating 
for the innocent

cos they always 
have a secret agenda 
against our spiritual growth 

they fear our future
even in our worst moment

cos we walk in a way 
they can't understand

so I pray oh father 
watch our back 
protect our steps

guide me among 
the midst of 
blood suckers

let them far 
from my blessing

for am not their
friend not in my dreams 

let my light never die 
no matter how close 
they are to hurt my soul oh
can you hear me father
