Away From Family

having a family back home is not easy,
especially when you can’t go home if you plan on coming back,
moving away from family and friends you’ve born with is not simple,
as lifeless fools wage wars to waste civilian’s lives,
as you relax in America, you wonder what if you were there? where would you 
be? and what would you be doing?
would you be waging wars too?
every day you think about whether your family still alive or not
not that you don’t keep track, but the fear of losing them without knowing what 
happened?
its always too long to be a way from a family no matter who your family is,
away from family is distressing,
without family how can you survive?
all of our daily lives include seeing our family
so how can you see them if they’re thousands of miles away and stuck in the 
country that you thought was going to help you get ahead
now tell me do you have a family?
then tell me is eight years too long to be away from a family
