We have come home

Weakness shall make him stronger
 hunger shall make him happier
 persecution shall lift him higher 
and anger he shall conquer
 power he shall acquire
 justice he shall deliver

 Cynosure of all eyes
 never shall he tell a lie
 as drops of fluid on a myrh
 no blot, no stain. Only more shine 
every blessing, life shall magnify 
and when nature's trifle problems walk by 

divine solution in its footsteps shall follow
 on untramped paths in travail solo
 never does breeze withers inmates of a meadow
 but spreading God's wings on every phase narrow
 making gold holes of life burrows
 say i, too full of ego! 

But Marner's coins never were lost
 only transformed to a wandering lot
 raising the hope of the dying dawn
  How come the run rises in the slum?
 Recounting joys of days long gone
 We have come home, oh Lord!

 Our treasured bags have crawled in empty
 warriors of old sickly in groups clumsy
 the holy maid has been smitten
 the erring virgin strapped with weaklings
 our beds are fouled with owls' droppings
  in the river banks our feet baking

 Alas! The risen sun has been eclipsed
 laughter bitter echoing in our ears
 heads bowed down in gaily sadness 
and then it passed away
 it is over! Cried the young plants
 it is over! Cried the old sun

 happy days surely are here
 they that laughed happily weep
 for the hatchet's grave been washed away
 smiling flowers and growing faces
 he has returned in all his splendor
 spoils once lost trails his trains
 merriment, say you?
