Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

I Wish I Could Take This Pain Away

i wish I could take this pain away
looking down 
feeling so cold
cos the world 
keep getting colder 
each sunset 
it only get hot on calamities
 so I look down 
cos above is so cloudy
and polluted
always my pen bleed 
cos humanity is dying
is so sad 
too many heavy hearts
in places
feeling cold in a cold world
I feel this soul as 
I wish I could take this pain away


I wish I could take this pain away
am not perfect yet 
I can see the world
all I see is not pure 
either are they perfect
their are so many miseries
with dark realities
this is so sad 
no more respect for humanity
no more fear for life 
in places 
how can children suffer 
how come we still have 
a lot suffering people
while the world is richer 
than our quest 
no wonder too many 
heart are heavy 
no wonder their are too
many skeleton in too
many cupboard 
cos when you truly
look at the world 
you will cry for humanity
as always 
I wish I could take this pain away


I wish I could take this pain away
we are free but in jailed
we have no chain on our neck
yet we are not far from slavery
we are not locked up 
but we can't cross the boarder
we are dying always 
but still no care 
no more whip on our back 
yet we get  flogged by 
the system 
is there an escape root 
cos all doors are closed 
down on us 
no wonder my pen bleed
no wonder too many heart 
are always heavy
no wonder always 
I wish I could take this pain away
