Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

The Face of the Past

The face of the past
I left few steps 
In my life unsettled
Cos I got to move on 
Yes keep moving 
Was the motivation
Always from the lips 
Of those that love me 

The face of the past 
In my young youth 
I sworn never to be poor
Despite I grew up in such
A community and that 
Was the ultimate motivation
Every were I go 
I believe I was born for change
Despite the few chances 
I see but always
I remember  my personal oath in life
And each time I hear my love ones
Say keep moving 
That always is a fresh power
To my destiny

The face of the past 
I keep moving 
I kept my light up 
Cos always I fall to 
Challenges of life 
And honestly 
I defeat some 
I win some
I let some be 
And those I let be always
Never let me be 
Their recalls keep bringing me to 
The face of the  past
