We are back

We are back
From foreign lands
Replete with temporal pleasures
Overseas, across the boarders
As heavy-hearted as we are
With our bodies zonked
Nonentities we were
Among a people heinous

We are back
To shed scars we got abroad
With Warm smiles
From fellow nationals
In this Heart of Africa
To retain our dignity
We sold for survival
And lost for good
Leaving our hopes in vain

We are back
Sated with unmet wants
To stay for life
Among brothers and sisters
And have our prosperity
In this land of our ancestors
The Warm Heart of Africa
