Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Competition Instead of Cooperation

competition instead of cooperation
we are growing they say 
but how 

are we growing fat  in hatred
or are we growing slim 
in love 

we are growing they say 
but how 

are we growing big in lies 
Or small in truth 

yet we are growing 
I just wonder how 

how we are growing
are we growing up well 
or are we growing up dying
to live 

yet we are growing 
yes we keep growing

but were are we growing to 
even when we grow 
how do we grow

are we growing 
when there are so many
in need out their in the third world 

are we growing when food waste 
in some part of the world
while their are too many hungry 
stomach in so many places 

are we growing when 
truth is dying 
about to be buried 
far away from our existence

are we growing when 
our soul remains stagnant
no spiritual growth 
cos no more common sense

yet we are growing
growing in a world of 
competition instead of cooperation
