Note: This is the first in a three-part series. <br /> <br />Nowhere, I'm going nowhere <br />Surely all these rules are to blame <br />So I'm going to leave tomorrow with my share <br />I'll live at last like I want, things will never be the same <br /> <br />Nowhere, I'm going nowhere <br />But with the partying, the women, <br />The popularity, why should I care? <br />Let me enjoy all of this, even if it is sin <br /> <br />Nowhere, I'm going nowhere <br />All my money and new 'friends' are gone <br />I'm so starved I'd eat the food I feed the pigs, I don't care <br />I'll go back to my father, he was right all along. <br /> <br />Nowhere, I'm going nowhere <br />My shame has come upon me <br />Can I look my father in his face, do I dare? <br />If I return, perhaps his lowest servant I could be <br /> <br />Nowhere, I'm going nowhere <br />I will never leave my place again, forsake my name <br />My father loves me, and treats me far more than fair <br />I am glad to be my father's son, and that this will always be the same <br /> <br />(November 19-20,2004)<br /><br />David Lovell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/parable-part-1-nowhere-the-prodigal-son/
