»Just Like a Tattoo«

by Happy Mhlongo

Ages ago they loved good
With no stress and death
without humilliation and secrets
No changes till death do.
NOW!!!

Love is like a vain,
And produce harmful and sore.
Innocent lamps die left and right
covered with blood and blade.
srrow; Hrrow all over.
With no harmony and trust.

Those old days love was,
Just like a tattoo sturk on flesh and blood.
Never let go of someone who love.

Love was fixity
Love was kind
Love was enjoyable
Love was like a tattoo
Now its like an hungry lion waiting...
