Oh sweet home <br />I am here <br />But devoid of nostalgia <br />And parnephanelia of home. <br />My mother is gone <br />To meet my father <br />Who left long ago. <br /> <br />The kitchen is shut <br />And the chicken pen is deserted <br />Every place here smells stale <br />And my sibblings <br />Have wilted like hot <br />Geysers have poured upon them. <br /> <br />I have come <br />With my freshness <br />But a contagion of staleness <br />Is upon my head <br />I am running <br />Running to where? <br />I do not know.<br /><br />Tony Adah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/home-396/
