Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Escape

escape
don't just sit and look 
wondering in shadows
blinded in your own traps
of fears 
still holding on 
to the past 
with no motive 
of a change 
depressed captivated
and worn out in
sadness
disappointed by 
the systems 
and finally 
feeling alone 
in a crowded world
of few humanity 
if you are such a victim
is time to get out of shadows
escape

escape
tear down to pains 
of heat break 
left alone like 
all was your fault 
dejected by the society
oppressed by the law 
devalued by the economy
brutalized by the police
working yet belly empty
now crying in the closet 
of secrets 
if you are such a victim
is time to live again
is time to live right just 
escape

escape
the world is bid 
the planet earth is wide
it can accommodate all
so every victims of 
captive has a hope 
no need to wet the floors
with tears 
no need to weed the table
with spits of anger 
no need to full the private
cupboards with secrets
just be brave 
make a u turn 
take a step to 
leave all negativity
all that weigh you down
so you could be free to 
escape
