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.
