Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

For the Sake of a Flag

for the sake of a flag
insanity is obvious
in humans

for we are masters 
of own crimes

we created injustice
while we fight for justice

we created poverty
while we fight to eradicate
it

we are the curse of 
all our own deformities

we chose the cross 
we bear 
but sadly we never 
chose the tears 
from our eyes 

we are so perfect
but yet we still 
can't change the face 
in the mirror 

little humans
mini gods 
now wants to fight
nature 

always raising a flag
above the world 
across the globe
to rule to war 
to impose 

for the sake of 
of this flag 
a lot of my mates 
has gone so quick

the survival
got a new hard life
sow pains 
a new story

all just 
for the sake of a flag
