Many Miles Away
Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
Travelling by stealth, incognito, alone by wise choice
Hazy memories of his homeland and boyhood street
Friendless these lean years, no recognition to rejoice
Mercenary factions control his vagabond life
Icelandic fjords, volcanic rocks, desert dunes attend
Flash bye and fade, fragmented in perennial strife
Look far away, head and heart appraises to amend
Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
For seven long years he kept away, a lifetime ago
Hazy memories of his homeland and boyhood street
Aged in years, comparisons he hides well below
In cosmopolitan artificiality
He orchestrated ways and means for exited culls
Initiated to ensure free world buoyancy
To prevent corruption by power hungry moguls
Many miles away, a mammoth journey to complete
This last commission to undertake for MI5
Then return to his love ones, homeland and boyhood street
If the powers that be are with him he will survive
