Kamrun sees the futility and utility of love, in different layers of life, in this poem, exclusively for Different Truth
Contemporary love… Now, you are just a magical word Any time anyone can use Is it real or complete fun? No one really bothers at all… Now, this is a silly word No weight; no faith Simply a flowery word. So never fall in love It doesn’t exist in This controversial world A siren always gives signal To a rational mind… There is no love No faith; no loyalty; really exist… Everything works in the neuron cell That is an overall chemical recompose That sometimes could be used as A weapon against you. And can be exercised at any time ever… So never dive On that ocean in fascination It could be a wrong decision A lifetime of hell… But alas! When you see a child in Her mother’s womb Forget rationalism All types of scientific calculation Forget practical life And again, start to believe in love.
