Away From Home

Away from home These many years I spent alone In this place worse than the devil's dome Quickly rising to the apex of my life's cone Living the struggle of another; a clone Weakened to the marrow of the strongest bone Why today I am here, I do not know In the future where The crystal ball does not show But on and on I persevere In any direction my fate does blow In this state I do no longer have a close peer Because all consider me to be ***** Every day imbibing gallons of beer My misery arousing in men the emotion of fear For their insignificant lives they hold dear Their only concern with today when the end is so plain near I have to go back To where the growth of my self shall not slack Oh surely there in my true home I shall not lack And by truth I shall remain tack Yeah and never again play quack To find favor in hearts clouded black
