Love

Cessation the love Household has been scattered When love lost Humming in the community Malicious gossip in the society Disorder in the society Degrading the society Society has been scattered When love lost Humming in the state Malevolent rumour in the state As the day chameleon to night Insomnia in state Peace elude state State has been scattered When love lost Mystery to nation When love lost Oh! It is a dream Why do we stop loving While love exist Love is above all existent

When love lost the world burned, when love lost suffering was the cost...I admire the intelligent elevation from the micro example to the macro, from family to the national level Afolabi. "Insomnia in state, State is not at peace..." I interpret this expression as state paranoia eliminating rights and privacy, super surveillance. Love and lunacy, a strange balance...J.A.B.

I am FAVING this poem primarily for the style of escalating moral intellect Afolabi. J.A.B.
