When Love Fails, Man Fails

WHEN LOVE FAILS, MAN FAILS Men are captivated by what they see, The shinny bird deserve not to suffer In the polluted air of love. When love fails to actualise it purpose Man fails to live up to his standard, Teach your spirit about the end of love Many has fallen into the prey of bloody casuality In the street where injustice rain like water, Days of little can be liken to the days of great Harvest in the barns of fools. I am not partial in dealing with the love drugs But medicine of not being recognised in the Atmosphere where love mock many can not be ignore. Reason the face, reason the love of men, Where reason fails, madness may take charge. When love fails to make it right, man fails. When love cries, men behold hatred in their hands The barns of my father's yam has been emptied since The day he sang to the birds of love pains, infidelity. My mother's shinny nakedness was seen by a strange nation. How be it that love takes two for righteous act? Carry my emotions home when tears elude you For the villagers are at home mourning for the dead. I'll come soon in the dry season to ask of my Penny in your hand but I failed again in love, Take heart for the broken dream.
