Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Monkey and Banana

monkey and banana
you want a monkey
to dance to your tone 
gave him banana
he will dance more 
than your tone 
is now also common
in humans
at least our corrupt
leaders are not 
dancing to our tone 
yes they are not 
i guess we don't have
the kind of banana 
they eat 
we are to poor 
to provide such banana
now whose tone are they 
dancing on 

monkey and banana
if you want a monkey 
to walk your foot steps
show him bananas
I swear he will not only
walk by your foot steps
he will run after you 
i wish our leaders could
run after us despite
the banana of support
and vote we showered 
on them 
i wish it was enough for 
them to run into our need
and prove their worth
yet our bananas is not 
what they need either is 
it what they pursue

monkey and banana
if you need a monkey 
to be royal to your 
order 
gave him banana always
and your are his master
for ever 
so if our banana is not 
enough for our leaders
then our hopes are 
hopeless
they eat banana we know
if not why are they corrupt
is obvious their banana
is not from us but to deal
with us from the outcome
of their royality to the
masters that feed them
with the class of bananas
that makes them
forget to take care of
their poeple need
instead follow their
colonial masters opressor 
system like a 
monkey and banana
