so many things have changed since then,
so many faces have turned black.
so many trees have fallen since then,
so many tears have shed.
i left you all with dreams of joy,
i return to see no one rejoys.
i lived on the land far away,
and now i have come to see all this.
Alas! i feel like an alien to this wonderland.
This land where i lost my heart happily,
but dread to share my pride with anyone now.
Oh land! what a game to play with me.
Without telling me that rules have changed,
Is this the way to over rule me?
I accept to accept my defeat,
at the hands of those who have overgrown claws.
The soft fingers of comfort and joy,
have gone numb and dry...
