Poem Title:
Poem
Chocolates, hearts and flowers are ubiquitous in the markets or stores It is like a frenzy storm, like heavy raindrops rushing through the gutters I am told at the big mall, it’s like Christmas Eve, where procrastinators Are buying boxes of chocolate, flowers, candies of all kinds and colors Candles, jewelries, intimate pajamas, and sexy accessories for loved ones Wow! Love must really be in the air or something different is quaffing The oxygen, which is necessary and essential for our survivals. Something Is in the fresh air, where the moon is full and craziness makes no sense In this fascinating world, where babies are slaughtered and innocent victims Are cursed, beaten, jailed and killed: I ponder and wonder. They don’t care It’s is a show of tradition, not a show of unconditional love. I cannot bare Not to say anything about what I’m witnessing and living. Bad dreams Endure; they don’t last. Nightmares see the devil in the dark in your bedroom I guess, hope and pray that Saint Valentine can improve the current events Yet, I am afraid of the hypocrisy, which behaves like evil rats and pesky ants Yes, I am confused, shocked and bewildered by so much extravagance for only one day I write and pray that true love rains and reigns, and tolerance shines on Valentine’s day.
