I came, I wander'd in a far away land, <br /> <br />searching for easy greener pastures; <br /> <br />I wander'd in the white man land <br /> <br />like an aimless wind in the sky above. <br /> <br />I travell'd afar off from my belov'd wife, <br /> <br />a wife I left as an innocent angel <br /> <br />with breast full of sweet milk, <br /> <br />but I left her to search for what will gladd'n her soul. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />From the distant land, <br /> <br />I sent a message full of hopes to my belov'd; <br /> <br />I avow'd to see and feel her in my arms again <br /> <br />but she first felt I grab my honey first, <br /> <br />I relay'd my feelings to her again, <br /> <br />but she now told me she needed a messiah first. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I now come, <br /> <br />traveling down home to my wife. <br /> <br />Alas! Another man has bounc'd on my wife <br /> <br />like an eagle on a chick. <br /> <br />What must I do now that I am back? <br /> <br />I must save my wife from this man, riding on her back, <br /> <br />parading himself as her messiah, <br /> <br />for I am her true lov'd messaiah!<br /><br />Eche Ononukwe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-a-distant-land-from-home/
