Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Compromise Without Benefit

compromise without benefit
we have been toiled upon
suppressed by the system
brutalities by the authorities
tortured by the men on black kaki
our words dont count 
our opinion is heard 
but overuled
we are the scares of poverty
yet the skies remains 
the beginning of our limits

compromise without benefit
we have been enslave before 
and now 
we are always turn down 
when ever we show up 
in the midst of intelligent humans
we are made to live to a limit
and the more we fight 
the harder they become 
brutal and cruel on us 
is like we got no escape root 
but to hang on with shadow

compromise without benefit
we have been closed 
closed down with laws 
rules and regulations 
in shadows of justice
but in reality our life's
are bitter than the air 
we breath 
I just wonder when change 
will be 
cos things get worst by day 
yet when you speak 
4sqare become your home 

compromise without benefit
we are tired 
I guess that why they 
became powerful 
we have long allowed 
them to manipulate us 
guess that why we are gun down
when we protest
for too long we are tired of lies 
yet we compromise
their lies to lead us blind
and we succeeded to tear down 
the cover to our blindness
we realise for so long our
life has been 
compromise without benefit
