Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Give Me the Lighter

Give me the lighter 
The days are dark 
And cold 
The egoistic evildoers
 from the top
Controls the switchs of 
Our Freedom in Africa 
And beyond
In our world today 
No wonder truth are 
Hard to found on the lips 
Of many 
Is obvious how 
Freedom is deep 
Yet expensive in this era 
And before now 

Give me the lighter 
The days are dark and grey 
Everyone still fighting 
Despite the change of time 
The world is still far from unity 
What else can we see 
To realise what the time speaks 
So I chose to life in the dark 
Yes I refuse to be teasty 
While standing in the clean rivers
Of water 
please permit me to light up 
The life  I know
Permit me to inhale wisdoms 
to exhale knowledge
Permit me please
 while I chill and breath 
With the trees of life 
 so  please 
Give me the  lighter
