Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Lost Touch

lost touch
sweet words on the lips
of a deceiver is equal 
to no words 
promises on the mouth 
of politicians 
could be equal to 
empty words 
if not why have they 
lost touch 

lost touch 
they stand as our leaders 
so confidence on election rallies
with empty words that sounds 
promising 
as we stand so foolishly
listening and believing 
this words like the saviour's
are close to our needs 
everywhere we hail 
and chant their political
names like we finally 
found the God saint 
at the end of the day 
they got the staff of power 
only for their greed and
by their actions
is obvious that they have
lost touch

lost touch 
they once touched
our souls with lies 
they once touch 
our hope with 
hopelessness
they once touch 
our life's in shadows
of poverty 
they once looked 
like the messiah 
that can end our 
miseries
they once made us 
happy with empty 
promises of change
till now they still 
touch us with 
brutality
when we understand 
that they got no 
knowledge to touch 
our lives positively
cos they have 
lost touch

lost touch 
they have lost touch
cos they got no more soul 
their actions brutalise
our soul 
their greed creates a stagnant
growth to our future
their ideology is a scam
and now our life's pays
the price of corruption
our youth are in pains of
scarcity of basic needs 
and dieing in hunger
yet we got them that are 
full of promises from 
the beginning of our 
struggles of hope 
in staff of power 
to protect and serve
where they also where 
born 
where they grew up 
where they were too feed 
and educated 
given a privilege to 
the point of power 
what else they need 
from us 
is a shame they gave their 
back side to our sacrifice
and that makes it obvious
that they have 
lost touch
