Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Responsibilities

Responsibilities
like a necklaces
on our necks
is no longer a stranger 
like the shoes we wear 
is no more new 
like the clothes 
on our bodies
we always need to 
cover our necked ness
of responsibilities
in the world of 
work and bills
in a society 
with loads of deceit
it never ends 

responsibilities
in every third world 
countries is
like the clock on the wall
it always a reminder
like a boss it controls 
our world 
we are trapped in a
deep well of responsibilities
with it sharp objects 
of hardship
on it walls
it always cracks our 
efforts 
it always tear down 
our dreams
a very dangerous well
a well full of trials and error

responsibilities
we own a lot responsibilities
on our shoulders
at our feet are a lot circumstances
and  our hands are empty 
despite our minds are willing 
to take what ever it cost 
just to survive
yet we got no satisfaction
so we still got to hope 
on every tomorrow
in the time when we stand
alone with no support
in the time when we fight
for our survival with out 
our leaders help
we got no choose 
like a situation of
do or die despite 
no adequate provision
of sustainable source of 
basic needs in our country
what a hard situation
yet home and abroad
we still keep keeping 
up to our 
responsibilities
