Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Love In the Eye of a Perfect Stranger

love in the eye of a perfect stranger
must we keep on in weakness
how long will it take us 
to weak up 
are we not done yet 
in this pit of poverty 
must we be always 
the same 
I thought we have our 
destinies in our hands 
I thought we are the 
owners of our mind 
so how much more 
will we keep excepting
love in the eye of a perfect stranger

love in the eye of a perfect stranger
we fight each other 
we are not in love with each other 
we fail to unite oh africa
while we keep hoping 
for the perfect stranger 
to come take our problems
away 
we refuse to believe in ourselves
yet we need each other 
we reject to build each other 
yet we are strongly building
the home of the perfect stranger
who is busy hunting on us
what a pity what a love
we are so in love 
in love with the 
love in the eye of the perfect stranger

love in the eye of a perfect stranger
we are so in love with this strangers
they have brought us a lot 
fights for justice 
they have abused our dignity
enslave our own 
devalued our ancestors
stole our treasure
destroyed our culture
imposed their ways opinion
civilization on our life's
still we remain blind 
instead we are busy 
loving the stranger 
we changed our spiritual
life's for no good 
what a love 
we are so in love 
in love with the 
love in the eye of a perfect stranger


love in the eye of a perfect stranger
our women are our prides
yet our streets are full 
of helpless girls 
abused raped 
by this strangers 
a perfect stranger 
indeed
our women are to be  protected
cos out there this strangers
are wild 
wilder than our welcomes 
they are the devils we cast 
in our prayers 
they are friend to those 
who oppress our freedom
they are the mentor of our 
grieves 
they are no good friends
what a perfect stranger
yet we are still busy in love 
in love with the 
love in the eye of a perfect stranger

love in the eye of a perfect stranger
always at first 
this strangers always 
comes to us with a perfect
smile and with an eyes 
full with love 
their words are so comforting
so much sweet words 
fall from their lips of lies
they always have a gift 
neither do we know 
it was an exchange
what a stranger 
a perfect stranger 
yet we fall in love 
in love with the
love in the eye of a perfect stranger
