Baluba Love

A perfect plain in the Sub Sahara Discerning screens, Japanese Madara Your frame formidable despite design Why shan't I sing aloud about your shine? Your songs of praises serenades females A wrecking train that never derails Conquered jealousies try to bite your style They lost teeth from treading your field of mines You oppose disruptive dictatorship A might that oppresses oppressors' grip A real lion, the rest just copycat Your tales get people wild like bank alerts Your burning desire defies flame tests But your heart I treasure here in my chest! ©2016.

Though not a pure sonnet, Kunta borrows some styles to make it seem like one. The poem is a tribute to the legendary hall of residence.
