GO Home!

GO Home! 

Home?

I have no home…

…I am like the river that trudges through…

With no place to call my own

…I bumble on

To stop where life wills…

They take what they want…

And dump what they will…

…On I lumber…

Changing names along the way

…Recruit…

…Deserter…

…Objector…

…Asylum seeker…

Illegal immigrant…

…Homeless…

…stateless…

…Trafficked…

…Smuggled…

...Hired…

…Bought…

…Sold…

…Donated…

…Lent…

…Refugee…

I don’t remember my name anymore…

I don’t recall my dreams…

Never had the luxury of a vision…

Have lost count of the case files kept on me

I have no legacy…

I have no history…

Is home really where the heart is?

Me… I have no use for a heart…

Home?

I have no home

This ghastly search for home is my home
