Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Why the Pigeons of Peace Refuse To Fly

When the pigeons of peace refuse to fly
It was supposed to be a land 
Of peace 
Were all is enough for every soul
But not for the greed of men 
They dressed in pure white 
From their head to their toe
Pretending they stand for peace
Deceiving the crowd
On a peace day 
They thought they are wise 
As usual 
But they were caught unawares
By the birds of peace 


When the pigeons of peace refuse to fly
It was supposed to be a continent
Of peace 
Yet the sons of men turn our
Peaceful land to a hell 
Of a place 
Am sure most of the world 
Has had how dangerous Africa is 
Have you ever wonder why 
Have you ever try to research 
Were this badness came from 
I tell you certainly not from 
The people yes not from 
The innocent common people
And the prove was  why 
On the hands of our leaders
At the peace day ceremony in Nigeria
The pigeons of peace refuse to fly
