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
