LOVE IS A CONMAN

by one-pamela-pusumane

Love is hate because it spits me out at the shores of violent seas, and the world does not stop moving even though 3 years of my life are washed down the drain.Gunshots never cease and lately they have become a lullaby for my 1 year old sister who is lifeless on the floor, I mean love cannot survive nukes. Love is a silent tragedy because the man next door is not moved as my brother dodges bullets and cover his bleeding ears whilst trying to outrun a lion in the wild. Love is confusion because what i see everyday is man killing one another because we have different skin tones. Love is selfish and arrogant because it knows no boundaries nor offers any respect.Love is a rapist because it violates and strips all innocence all in the name of sacrifice. Love is a murder because it kills dreams in the name of honesty. Love is an idea that helps us sleep at night because deception is the fuel to survive in this cold world.Love is a conman.
