Homeward Bound

I'm sitting in deep contemplation
Got to find a way to vent frustration
The landscape's not as I had planned with devastation close at hand
His every word so clearly damned, no poetry at his command
Homeward Bound,
I wish he was
Homeward bound,
Home, with no thoughts escaping
Home, with no trump(ets)  playing
Home, forever more I'm praying
In silence he should be.
 
Every day's nightmarish dream
Of invective and thoughts obscene
And each rant sounds the same to me, the moodiness, the tragedy
And each so strange, a manic plea, reminds me that he ought to be
Homeward Bound,
I wish he was
Homeward bound,
Home, with no thoughts escaping
Home, with no trump(ets)  playing
Home, forever more I'm praying
In silence he should be.
 
Tonight, he'll say the world may end
He'll play the game, it's all pretend
With all his thoughts I disagree, the pain they cause to you and me
Their emptiness does harm you see, I need to know that soon he'll be
Homeward Bound,
I wish he was
Homeward bound,
Home, with no thoughts escaping
Home, with no trump(ets)  playing
Home, forever more I'm praying
In silence he should be.

Sang it to my wife. Words got more praise than the performance.

I’ve been thinking:

“A man hears what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest. Yes he disregards the rest.”

We were lucky enough to hear a first-hand rendition sung by you. You have a calling as a writer and singer. Now...if you can learn which Fedex envelope to use, you are golden!
All kidding aside...your writing makes my day!--RE
