Gone a Road

Out of the bosom of eternal bliss
 In which I reigned with glorious sire
 Out of my comfort zone
 With dreams to fall a sleep to
 No widow to be remorseful to during cold nights
 A laid bed of roses to lie down at sundown
 Surrounded by down to earth people
 Valleys and slopes to plough when the rains a back
 I have gone a road
 Off to where the wind blows whirly
 Where; human reign is a tale, 
 And wild horses run you down in broad day light
 With no slopes to climb, neither valleys to roll down to 
 Where dew never leaves the green grass on the plains

 Behold, I have gone a road
 Embarked on a journey my fore fathers longed to take
To where; not bounded, not corrupt grace of heavens descends upon the earth
And I shall reside where trees grow tall beneath the illuminated sky
Where the gods of the land shall convulse my spirit with joy                                                              
Not so long then shall I get a profound bride!
 Sprucely beautiful, with incorruptible moral fiber and a spotless bright skin
 With whom we shall tie the nut
 Too soon after, we shall hit the high road back home
 Coz; I would have missed your love and care too much already
 Though my bride’s kinsmen shall miss their daughter 
 When I shall be gone a road to my home and family
 Back to you who really give an eye teeth for my well being

                                                                            By;

                                                                                 Oswell
