BY GLORIA O’KOYE
Love
That overused
And
Underused word
The moment that word leaves our lips
It changes the dynamics
And opens Pandora’s box
Great walls starting climbing sky high as it continue to get build
To guard that sacred inner place
Love
The key that continues to stir external and internal wars
Where shadows of life burst open
To destroy anything good
Because the heart had been shattered way too long
Love
The greatest of all is love
Yet it is the most misunderstood
And misused
That it is more of a gifted curse
If no precautions were put in place
Humans start to take advantage
And play too many games.
Underestimating that are so much at stake.
Deeds out of love or ulterior motive
Get mixed up
Along the way
Broken hearts live off on heartbreaks
Now generations have to work extra hard
To reverse our ancestors cycles
Which is hard to break.
Imagine a world where love
Is in its purest form
With no residue
Of traumatic cracks
That constantly threatens
To break?
Imagine households raised with love.
Relationships built on love
Children showered by love
Communities support dreams with genuine love
Just having a life of love.
This lifetime or not
A glimmer of hope
A spark of faith
Will only fuel
To achieve this
In unconditional love
