Denied Entry
As I look behind me I see all that I’m leaving behind
A land that is in tatters, a belief that all is fine only exist in my mind
Realising what is going on, I find myself wishing I wasn’t here
Gathering my family I try to flee the land, taking all that I hold dear
Remembering the good, the bad, and the not so pleasant times
Not fully informed, I had to leave , I didn’t commit any war crimes
For other reasons untold I was going, leaving all that was loved
I’m leaving, They persist to push, I don’t want to be shoved
Reaching the border of my home land, I leave my fears behind
Thinking of the new start I’m set to experience, I think of what ill find
Stepping over the border of my new home it was like a new life
Holding my family tight, my kids, my caring wife
My legs felt weak, I felt faint, unable to see the landscape
As I began to get to my feet, I sensed the fear had found its escape
The thought of being rejected ran blatant on my face
Surely they wouldn’t be disrespectful because of my race
I had to leave, I told them, its my destiny, its my fate
I was In pursuit of freedom, only to be sent back to the land of hate
The memories of past times gone was triggered when they said ‘no’
Kicking, screaming I didn’t want to leave, ‘please just let us go’
In disbelief, I fell to the floor, my wife came to my aid
‘I knew it was to good to be true, we should of stayed.’
Rejected from prosper, my face began to rain tears of pride
Not hiding my face, I wasn’t scared to let them see I cried
All my hopes and dreams shattered, torn, ripped up in tatters
I just wanted to leave, start fresh, but now nothing really matters
I guess its all over now, nothing I could do, just go back ‘home’
that’s what it is now, my home its all that I have to call my own
