Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

We Refuse

we refuse
we see all that passes
our ways are not guilty
not even our dreams are empty
cos they don't want our existence
despite our right 
despite our contribution to mankind
all that passes 
are not our redemption

we refuse
we feel all that passes
cos we see them 
some are dark 
few with light 
cos our days are equal
to digits 
in a modern civilization
if we are for real 
they will never stop 
no wonder always
we refuse

we refuse
we can relate 
with all that passes
cos our origin is a 
closed chapter
yet it speak to nature 
till now 
so remove our existence
they also will never survive
remember Africa is the mother 

we refuse
we speak about 
all that passes
some with the truth 
some tell lies
cos the hunters are 
their best friend
big home among poor
tenth create a power 
within their ugly soul 
no wonder even 
when we refuse 
the hunters 
our brother becomes
our enemy
