"WILL THEY ALWAYS REPRESENT 'HOME'?" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

A house, a family
Material things
Everything’s lovely
All the joy they bring

Will they always represent ‘home’?
Trials come and go
Keep them all intact
Or all will burn like Rome
Thanks to Nero

A group of friends
Fun and games
Be yourself; don’t pretend
but which ones are harmless
jokes or something to shame?

Will they represent the substitute
of the ‘home’ you miss?
Will you remain in solitude
and no longer have that once societal bliss?

Neighbourhood, communities
Smaller bits that form a country
How to keep them close together
without potential harm on each other?

Will they always represent ‘home’?
How come some get all the terrirory,
while others have to flee?
The answers never satisfy me.

Planet Earth with all its worth
all mortals should deserve
but some believe they earn more,
banishing others for keeping scores…

We’re supposed to share this temporary ‘home’,
yet many of us have planted too many time bombs
inside and out,
until one day – when we’ll all be left without…

Will they always represent ‘home’?
