Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

The Reason Behind the Reason

A reason behind The reason
Off to uptown 
I flew for an holiday
In a resturant of
The so called v.i.p
I was as I never realise
Not until too many eyes
On me as the Afro hair
I wear speak more than 
Their eyes could tell

Oh is free world
Don't worry me
For their is a 
Reason behind the 
Reason
Why thing are the 
Way it is 

A reason behind the reason 
Like I sit dress with
My native African 
Style 
all eye never 
Stop to flash on me like
Am an alien
Hi where you 
From
What you doing 
Here 
was a question 
That never seize to 
Keep coming
Close to me was a man
On a black suite
As he asked 
How could you
As an African afford to be here
Hymmm......, that trigger a lot
In me
As I reply 

Oh is free world
Don't worry me
For their is a reason 
Behind the reason 
Why things are the
Way it is

A reason behind the reason 
Sir take a moment 
And take a walk with me
While I show a reason 
Behind the reason to what 
You might wrongly perceive
With out a notice
Talk a walk with me in
Assumes ion


Oh is a free world
don't worry me
For their is a reason
Behind the reason
Why things are the way 
It is


A reason behind the reason
With all due respect
Their is no reason for one
Never to afford what it takes 
To survive sir
Do you see those babies
On your tv screen 
They could be save 
If the greed of man 
Fail to exist as it is in Africa 
Sir You see that Africa immigrant 
On the corner of your street 
He could be talented
And use full to his country 
but his government cares not 
You see all you perceive 
About Africa could be 
Wrong for we are bless
Yet we lack good men 
On the hills of power
How come I can't afford to 
Be any where in the world 
As an African
How come we lack
Oh Sir is obvious you 
Cant observe 
You see those illness
Is an illusion 
Africa is not guilty
Of poverty 

Oh is a free world
Don't worry me
For there is a reason
Behind the reason 
Why things are the way 
It is 

 
A reason behind the reason 
For I to be here sir
Is never a miracle
For the earth is our planet
And Africa is never deferent
Either are africans below human
Oh sir don't be surprise
That I can afford what 
You feel is expensive for 
A kind like me
Is not my fault to be 
An African 
For here we are as nature
Permit
Isolation is excluded 
In the world of nature 
All you see sir about
Africa got a reason 
Why is that way
Here you see sir
That for all you
Perceive as truth
Their is 
A reason behind 
The reason
It is what 
It is


Oh is a free world 
Don't worry me
For there is a reason 
Behind the reason
Why things are the
Way it is
