Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

We Are Nothing But Numbers

we are nothing but just numbers

are they for us 

do they care about us 

what about their 
promises
do they really matter

where are they now 

if they are here 
why are we alone 

have they ever cared
about us 

I wonder 

I see our yesterdays
I see our today 

so now I can say about 
our tomorrow 

yes I have a say 

am part of the victims
in my flesh 
but a victor in my soul 

again I wonder 

how long we could 
afford their calamities

it has turn us out 
wear us down 
torture us 
trembled on us 
yet we are humble
to no gain

I wish they care 

I wish we are closer
to be free 

cos despite 
they are few 

they have turned 
us many to shadows

and now we live 
in their digits
 of control  were 

we are nothing but just numbers
