Where Is Home? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFGHIJFKLMFMHED NO PQ

This was the story we were told over and overA
and over until we forgot it was a lieB
We ve learnt the language but we are never those country menC
Here only the family name mattersD
You have a name so do IB
We are a complication of what names of home areE
Home will never be our home and never will it beF
We will find home far from here while is still timeG
But where is homeH
In our heart spirit or bloodI
It is not easy to get drunkJ
Everyone will if it were to be easyF
Soon we ll be facing north with this philosophical spiritK
North started this division in us allL
Borno Ozubulum Jos and Benue clothed these memoriesM
We started spraying these tales when we could not seeF
Kainene shadow but Kambili told us gently of her miseriesM
No Chimamanda and daughter could tell us of homeH
We have home how happy would we say we areE
Darn a new home for us our ancestorsD
Let s make ourselves a new flag as the ocean groansN
To the anthem of a new garment we wearO
