Liberation?

Stripped of his land, his house and history
Risking everything for his family
And ultimately... to escape from a nation's misery

Unbearable economical, political and religious prejudice
Though his country, he does truly miss

Stripped of all once in his possession
All he has, to start him off, is his ambition

Initially endless investigation,
Dehuminisation- a consequence of documentation

Away from life threatening conditions
Exploitation and persecution
Yet his home will not be forgotten
His mind distraught
His thoughts gone rotten
No doubt he does have some regret
Not all hopes will ever be met

His child is now safe, or so he may think
A void is felt.
To his ancestral past there is a lost link
Violence once enforced on himself, his child will thankfully not experience.

Leaving all he had for a better future
The guilt from his hands he attempts to rinse
Though his mind has been stained ever since
Leaving all he had for the undetermined and indefinite.

Responsibilities snatched away,
In all of this he has no say,
Handcuffed, considered a criminal,
Risked his life for a wish that to him is incredible

Looking at a world that now smiles back
Where excrutiating suffering is no longer true,
His child will not be traumatized by the same things he went through

Chronic pains, streams of tears,
Dying roses, burning fears...
Butterflies, bitten nails,
Cracked knuckles and torn sails,
Dreams, ambiotions, one major hope,
That one must instantly grope
To wake up with a smile on one's face
To have the chance to shape the human race

Now the tummy aches, jaw pains and the tears
Are out of too much laughter, no longer fears

Experiencing no more disaster
Farewell to oppression
Greetings to exhilaration and jubilation

Once victimized, forever traumatized
But dying free, with his faith, humility, family,
Personally destroyed forever
But has provided a better future
And hopefully suffering will now be experienced by fewer.

Running away from victimization of an extreme
Only to find out no nation from these problems is truly clean
Terrorization is passed on from generation down to generation
There is no true liberation from God's greatest creation.
