wait : a poem by zach
I left home still as a child
I walked a thousand sorry miles
To wait for my father, coming out to the world
He said my boy you've got to hold up those arms
I see my plans, and you will too
I’ll come get you, when I’m on my way
So I waited many years,
Held back the pain behind my tears
For my father, to come find me like he said
And in that time I was alone,
So many years without my home
I made brothers of a different kind instead
And at the time I didn't know,
Flying next to the crows
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see
There I never found my father,
There I never found my brothers
Close to death in my lifetime I will be
A hero into the masses,
To those born without chances
There's a freedom that everyone deserves
I know there's greed and there's corruption
I've seen death and mass destruction
And I'm telling you, I’m running out of patience
But I will not be commanded, I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my name
I will not be fooled,
With different kinds of decay
Trying to kill me it’ll find chances
But my Father is on his way
