Tribute To Valentine
Valentine! Oh Valentine!
I search for you in the vile valley.
Vultures wing low, brushing dark clouds.
Life snaps, mowed down at dawn.
Blood courses, cakes in the streets,
Wafting stench of death and decay.
Consciences are crusted by ceaseless
Strife that howls dirges over the air.
The world is agog, celebrating love;
Yet no graduation, no valedictorian
In the school of Valentine!
