Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

I Cant Breath

I cant breath
Nothing surprises me 
Any more in a dying world
Even when my last breath 
Means nothing to another man
My spirit never panic cos
It not strange 
When life means nothing
To humans 
In our dying world

I cant breath
The call for help 
Is like just more or less
An echo in the air
Cos the hands to help 
Are  withhold from reaching
The world 
Evil lives more than goods
Nowadays
So in all honesty 
Nothing surprises me 
Not any more in a dying world
Not even when my last breath 
Is taken away by force

I cant breath
Cos the knees
Of the devil is on 
A force to my air 
The brutality I don't deserve
Makes me more breathless
In a dying world
Is sad to see how my people 
Die like nothing
I ask only when it could stop
I ask Africa to demand 
It respect back from the world 
If not we still  will 
Be dying same like 
Every other times like Floyd
Dying in brutal act of hatred
Destroyed by racism
Chase away from home 
By tribalism
Trapped in injustice
Raped by the authorities
And killed by the knees
Of the one meant to protect 
Your right
I wonder who cant breath
In this kind of world
