Is It Love? Poem by Qiniso Mogale
Is It Love?
On the day of their wedding they
promised to love each other forever
They vowed till death do them apart
But soon as the honeymoon was over
they were on each others throats
They were were fighting like cats and dogs
Is this love?
Subjecting each other to untold misery
Causing each other piercing pain
The bedroom is turned into a courtroom
Fights spiral out of control
The fights culminate in violence
Soon we hear there is a divorce
So is this love?
The family is torn apart
The children are heart broken
Is this the lesson they should have learned
on love?
They grow up and get married and
they continue the circle of violence and divorce
Their children get the same lessons on love
Where will it end?
Is this the kind of love to be nourished?
Is this the kind of love to be passed from generation to generation?
May God intervene!
May God have mercy!
This is not love!
Promise is made during the day of marriage to live together and love each other throughout life. They grow up but doe to conflict they separate by divorce. This provokes thought. Wonderfully penned poem is shared here.10
Divorce is very common these days, marriage is successful only if there is mutual adjustment and understanding, which lack in this generation.. Well written
