wHEN I GET HOME

What a world of mortal men

A world where pains dwell amongst men

No gain until you stain your hands

Bands of evil men living all around you

The law is trampled by those who set the law

The voice of the oppressed is no longer heard

He dwells in his pains all day

With no hope of being consoled

What a world where the rulers dine

With the sweat of the oppressed

The tears of the innocent they bath with

Dining on a wretched flesh

This world is not a home to live in

The unborn comes with joy of breathing free air

But becomes choked the moment he steps out

Pain stands to welcome him at the door

The tussle for power has eaten deep into the lives of men

Their souls being consumed yet they care not

The blood of the citizens being spilled for such power

They derive joy in such

The future of the young is no longer guaranteed

No means of survival

He struggles to get ends meat

Yet it is taken away from him

Will such a man have joy within him?

He deals in whatever will pay his bills

Not minding to spill blood

As long as he fills his stomach

The words of wisdom has been killed

The fools boast in their foolishness

For killing Mother Wisdom

The hope of the oppressed

I wish to leave this world sooner

I wish to go to a place called home

Where peace dwells

And love is the cloud

Home is a place where giants

Kings and freemen dwell

Neither oppressor nor commander

For all are equal

Home I long for all day

Wishing that time will move faster

Wishing that the wind will lift me off my feet

And take me to a home filled with glory

This home wasn’t built by men

Else they boast of it

And pride enters their heart

Consuming them

This home is the hope of the innocent

His tears will be wiped off his face the moment he gets home

The unborn feels love in multitude

And wished to be born sooner

I speak of a home prepared by God

For those who love and obey his will

Those whose hands haven’t been stained

The righteous and the light bearers

I will go home soon

Soon all my pains will die

And joy untold shall possess me

Joy unlimited shall encompass me

When I get home
