Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

The Number Zero 0

the number zero 0
naked we all came 
naked we all will go 

so why turn greedy 
to everything 
you never own
from the beginning
you worth zero 
you came empty
so you own nothing 
in life 

we are tenants 
in our mighty planet
we are here to live
with all life gives 
so good the gifts 
of nature is sufficient
in abundant
despite we own nothing 

the life is like 
a stage 
we are all an artist
in this stage of life 
we came on to this 
life with nothing
only our legacy must 
be our ultimate remedy
not the material wealth 
we acquire 
for every thing material
will always remain here 
when we are gone 

tell the greedy man 
to rethink 
tell the ambitious
man that he must be 
on a fast speed
 to the grave yard
tell the ruling class
that we got a soul
not a debt 
tell the world we don't
need to fight 
for everything we 
fight for remains here 
when we are gone 
for we own nothing  like
the number zero 0
