Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

The Heart of Every Mortal

the heart of every mortal
wonder why their is a God
wonder why we hunger for 
the supreme
wonder why we must look
up to God 
before and at the end of time 
wonder why the we fear 
and fall back to the supernatural

the heart of every mortal
wonder why we worship
the powers of the world 
wonder why we need the 
energy of life always to 
lead us through
wonder why we hope 
even when we are down 
to earth 
wonder why some humans
are evil 
wonder why their is 
too many confusion in 
the world 

the heart of every mortal
wonder why we bleed in 
darkness 
while the light is never far
from our feet 
wonder why we are slaves
in a free world 
wonder why the good die 
young 
yet the bad get glorified
wonder why life is fair 
yet dark in an era of destruction

the heart of every mortal
power intoxicate
so every human is guilty 
no one could Denny our 
imperfection
in man made civilization
we are mere material 
In this era of smart technologies
we intoxicate nature 
yet we need clean air 
despite our pollution
despite we are so intoxicated
still there must be love in 
the heart of every mortal


and the question is 
what do we do with it
yes that love in 
the heart of every mortal
