Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Wickedness Under the Sun

wickedness? under the sun
is obvious that one man's meat
is another man's poison
have you been in a gold mine
before 
it is a horror what is happening
in a mining field
you could see clearly what 
the greed of men could do 
is a shame that humans
can turn vampire 
for the sake of money 
is a big disgrace to see 
men women even kids 
working so hard 
Searching relentlessly 
sweating under a hot sun 
just to dig a gold out 
just for a greedy man 
to make a fortune 

wickedness? under the sun 
have you been to a cocoa? farm 
before 
i know you will not be blind
to see how hard the people
are suffering just to help 
a greedy man rich 
is painful when majority
of the victims work so hard 
under the hot sun are 
young teenage African youth 
whose parents are a victim of 
poverty under the rules of 
African great corrupt leaders
who don't care about the prosperity
of his people 
is too ugly down there in this 
farm of greedy cocoa export 
so when you sit and enjoy 
your sweet chocolate and 
coffee
remember it was made out 
from the grife of another man

Wickedness? under the sun 
have you ever visit a diamond mine
i bet you 
you will shade tears if you really 
got a soul 
in this mine you can see clearly 
what animals humans can be 
in a quest to get wealthy?
in this mine everyday under
the hot sun in Africa 
my people are turn to mining slaves
right in their country 
they are been enslave 
they are been striped naked
they are used just like ordinary
materials
where no pity or mercy 
lies not in the eyes of the 
cheap minds officials that works 
for the western world benefits
to exploit Africa resources 
just for money sake

Wickedness? under the sun
have you ever been out there 
in the streets of the third world countries
have you noticed how much
this people strive just to live 
have you noticed the look
in their faces? don't look 
so happy 
have you been there in the zone 
called ghetto 
have you noticed how 
this peoples life's are 
not important to their leaders
is obvious they are the rejected
stone 
despite the factories can't do 
with out the Labour of this
poor people 
despite under the sun 
this people works so hard  
just to earn a coin 
yet they feeds the greedy mans 
needs all the time
