Sweet Home Poem by Tony Adah

Sweet Home



Home
O sweet home
I do not want to
Leave here
Desert my land
With its bounties
Abandon my sweet
Mother's tongues
Leave the warm
Embrace of my family
The clear humid skies
Of my country
To any fog land with
Leafless trees and cold front climes
In the name of emigration
If I must make it
I will do it like the snail
Take my house upon my head
Everywhere I go
And my home in my mind
But on a visit.
