Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Take a Picture of My Heart

take a picture of my heart
are you ready 
to take a picture
of the heart of 
a bleeding soul 
found in a common
world 
a land of peace 
greedy beast now
are turning it fruits 
to a blood festival 
I wonder if the world 
is still watching so 
are you Ready 
take a picture of my heart 

take a picture of my heart 
are you ready 
to take a picture 
let the world see 
how an innocent heart bleed
let the world see 
how brutal this heart 
has been abused 
for nothing
let them see the 
colours of our grieves
it been too long 
so many of my  age
always say we are born 
in a wrong place 
is sad cos their heart 
are dark as mine 
even If i disagree 
it don't change the 
colours in the picture
are you ready 
take the picture of my heart

take the picture of my heart 
are you ready 
is time to make a photo 
of a heart once innocent
from the pollution
of intelligent mammals
whose interests are never 
for the sake of humanity
whose goals are never 
found in saving mankind
whose philosophy kills 
the children spiritual growth
right from birth
like a lion I can't stop 
roaring 
like an awoken spirit
I can't stop chanting
for Justice 
so it take a heart 
of sacrifice 
to be a part of the living
so are you ready
take the picture of my heart
