    Cold, famished and jaded we wait
    They say ‘it’s almost done’
    Each man believing it is fate
    To set sail in the sun

    Anticipation gives us hope
    Creating a new name
    No longer do we have to cope
    ‘To Freedom’ we exclaim

    What concealed mysteries behold
    Captain shouts all aboard
    Gathering what we hadn’t sold
    Enter thanking the lord

    Ship's set to sea; waves crash and crest
    Longing for peaceful sea
    But we pray; hoping for the best
    We behold gods fury

    Some survive and some lay to rest
    The ocean floor awaits
    Beckoning us all as it’s guest
    Storm issues the checkmate

    Captain turns starboard and evades
    Yawing; lost in the sea
    The endless ocean slowly fades
    Land; rejoice in glory

    A journey survived; start anew
    My children will be free
    Every one of their children too;
    For this is my country

      I really like your rhyme scheme. It really made the poem flow together.
    "The ocean floor awaits
    Beckoning us all as it’s guest"

    That's by far my favorite line from Voyage. I thought that was really clever.
    I like the overall tone of the poem, too. It's very desperate sounding, but at the end, you get a sense that it's worth it; for a really noble cause-- new country.
    Great stuff, sir.

      This is quite good.You attempt some decent rhymes and use some nice vocab,though at times it feels slightly random and disjointed.
    A few of the rhymes are a bit too tenuous I feel,like <sea/glory> and <free/country>.It seems hard to fit them into the flow of the piece,if you know what I mean.Overall though,I think it reads pretty well and I like the metre you use.
    Cheers
