Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Someone Should Have Told Me On Time

some one should have told me 
On time 
With all this ignorance shared 
With all this wars all over places 
With all this shows of power right 
In front of our eyes 
With all this destructions of countries
With all this killings of innocent humans
With all this fire burning in places
Before and most worst now 
I feel so disappointed of mankind 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me 
Before I was born 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me on 
Time 

Someone should have told me on time 
I feel so disappointed with mankind 
Of my generation 
I feel so disappointed of my politicians 
Oh what a shame 
Why someone never let me know 
Life is this disgraceful
I should have known 
I deserve to have known 
For what I see now on the third world We don't deserve 
As well in the whole world
Oh no 
Someone should have told me 
Before I was born 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me on time 

Someone should have told me on time 
Someone should have told me 
That this world so beautiful 
Will be turn ugly 
Someone should have let me know that even my best friend could become my worst enemy 
Someone should have told me that 
Brother will kill his own fellow brother 
Sister killing it own fellow sisters 
Someone should have told me 
That I will be let down by my leaders in Africa and beyond 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me 
Before I was born 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me 
On time 

Someone should have told me on time 
I thought I was free with religion 
Yet it like a genesis of an unknown 
Till I receive a revelation 
So now I reveal this words of change 
What it profit us I ask 
If we are not of love 
Someone should have stood up 
Before I was born 
I heard the few that did 
didn't get far alive 
So young so fast they are slain 
Someone  should have stopped it 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me 
Before I was born 
Oh no 
Someone should have told me on time 

Someone should have told me on time 
I deserve to know on time 
Why am here 
I deserve to know that I am here 
So why am I here on planet earth 
Some time I look like an alien
With this vision I see
To many I look insane 
With this mission I held 
To my peace I realise 
Am free from confusion 
Yet beyond all said and told 
I still deserve to know why
The good is not free from this 
Old odds till now 
I try I live 
I live I see 
I see I sense
I sense I act 
I act I reveal a rare words
As it has been not been easy 
Before I was born 
So again 
I am just another privilege victim 
That see to reveal .
