Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

What More Do They Want

what more do they want
we have given you 
our best 
we have offered our hearts
despite sometimes
we go against our wish
still they have keep us 
brutally humble
for too too long 
till now we are still humble
just for nothing

what more do they want 
they have taken away 
our rights 
they have polluted
the very lands that feed them 
they keep us humble
with blood shed 
off curse no one wants 
to lose his or her family member
any longer 
so we chose silent in the 
midst of our suffering
yet it serves no solution

what more do they want 
we are wasting
we are gradually depreciating
in numbers and illness
they left a lot uneducated souls
just to create a security for their 
evil corruption 
off curse is obvious 
they don't want challenge
you dear you pay with your life 
like a mafia rule 
this is our reality

what more do they want 
we have been submissive
they know how long 
it don't matter to them 
cos their goal is to keep it 
till eternity
no wonder we are ruled 
by circle group of people
it always same people
different faces 
if not where is the change 
they always cry about
every election season
what a shame 
is sad we are still humble
I wonder 
what more do they want
