Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

We Can'T Hear You

We can't hear you 
Your voice was so loud 
Few years back 
When you were all around 
Our communities
All around our streets
All around our schools
All around us we could 
See you always 
With louds words of hope 
From our windows
At home we could hear 
Even your big loud speakers
Of campaign 
We could hear you so 
Clear with out getting 
Close to you 
So why can't you speak now 
Oh man speak up 
We can't hear you 

We can't hear you 
Your voice was the loudest
Every sunset on our hot streets
But so sad all you said 
Were just mere words 
They were just echo to the air
You were just a waste of an era 
Cos you bleed betrayal
You bleed porverty 
You bleed death 
You bleed atrocities
You never bleeded for our good 
And when we cry to you 
You remain mute 
And now it's so hard to see you
It difficult now for us to hear you 
Suddenly you became an invisible leader
And even when we found you
When you speak to us 
You speak like you've forgotten 
All your promises
There is no hope in your voice no more
And the saddest thing is now all the while 
You speak wasting our time 
You never spoke nothing 
Reasonable and more worst 
After all 
We can't hear you
