Public Enemies

"Frogs' eyes do not stop a cow from drinking water in a river," - Kimeru Saying. We found ourselves kissing near a parking lot. It was deep, passionate and warm. I held her so close I could feel her heartbeat on my chest. In the midst of kisses, some eyes rolled, with the look of "go find a room!" written on their faces. We had become social outcasts, for displaying love around the elderly, children, and priestly class. As our laws demand, it is not right to express actions that would make anyone uncomfortable. Still, we went on kissing..... Love could not pretend in public places.

How very different from life in USA. People care little for what they do in public. Congratulations!
