A Patriot Poem by Charles Kanyuga

A patriot
A refugee at home
Nursing hurting wounds
And heal my broken heart
Where are my heroes?
Where are they I fought for?
They've left me in dark
In cold, a hungray soul

Any son of the soil who cares?
Children's cry
Their fathers lie in the valleys
But breaths not
Our holy refuge in flames
Where shall we seek salvation
The unseen
Unfelt will be our dwelling

I will seek to forgive
and love my haters
A sacrifice against my emotions
But the only way to heal
both our land, our people
Never seeing you I fought for
But will wipe you away
As the dust on my feet
Away with your goodies
Matter not to any one anymore

Together we will build
A place for aour children
Who know not tribe
Nor boundary marks
Theirs shall be joy
and prosperity
Once love is birthed
