Some will want
Wanting will be their front
Some will taunt
Taunting will be their front
Some will flaunt
Flaunting will be their front
And some will be gaunt
But it won’t be a front
It will be real, for wont
Of everything they want.
Everything they lack -
A place to call their own,
The feeling of being at home -
They want it back.
