Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Dirty Blues

Dirty blues
In a moment like now
Just as another presidential 
Election is around the corner
The memories of promise's
Before remind me of the
dirty blues

The memory of the late 
Lost out of same trust like now 
Remind me of the lies
Yesterday
Now who shall I vote
If surely my vote will count 
Hmmm..dirty blues again
The rhythm now every where

In the memory of the innocent
Jailed for a fight for freedom
Now who shall I trust in this 
Moment
In their division 
Yet they sound truthful 
Their action 
Hmmmm....so dirty
Same now as is before
New promises of change
Oh a new dirty blues again
Who shall I vote
If my vote will count

Eve Roper December 31, 2014 at 8:33 PM 7 my friend. Promises always given and never made, that is how they get into office. At least you are making an effort, even if it counts or not your heart is in the right place. No one can come back and say,” Well you didn't vote so why voice your opinion.” Happy New Year to you and with a lot of blessings for the New Year Richard Nnoli January 3, 2015 at 11:01 AM wow, eve roper i love your words somuch, am from nigeria in feb 2015 i got a presidental election, just like a comedy who shall i vote, for all look same to me, happy new year to you my dear sister, and i wish you the best of the best in 2015, ABOVE ALL GOOD HEALTH, thanks alot happy new year to you richard
