They say this day was made to spread love to those we love
Made for those special people who held the capsules of our heart in their medicated hands
But it’s a bit awful that mankind misinterprets love as juice berries hung in skirts and skinny jeans chased by eyes of lust and destruction
And the world neglects the emotionally bankrupt who seek for this love daily but never receive it
So I chose not to misplace my wishes this time
And to whom it may concern
I refuse to compress my love into a vase of 24hrs per year
Like feb14 is the only day HE showed me love
Like that was the only day HE washed my sins in the pool of mercy
For HIS love is endless as an ocean
Flowing deep into the banks of the over shore
So my wishes go to the orphans
The emotionally starved and love sick
To Mothers home and Diaspora
To the street children whose future are often shot by the snipers of unavoidable circumstances
To the ju men
Who refuse to succumb to societal pressure of being align to its ignoble customs
To Mother Mary
The girl I wish for every modern day beauty to become
To Joseph
The boy I pray to duplicate in the paper hearts of these boys
To GOD HIMSELF
To my parents
To truthful lecturers, still living with the sanity and hope of a better education system
To NGO’S striving to make life easy for the despondent
To those who have made homes out of hospitals
Laid bed ridden with eyes that forget the warmth of daylight
To granny’s
To my soldiers at the warfront
To rape victims
To those making a living through honest means
To all those who scream in the silence
To friends and families
To the women who mother me without even realizing it
Whenever you feel debased, demoralized and battered
Remember there’s a brother at the end of line who sees your struggle
And is with you all the way
You all deserve this ceramic love of mine
HAPPY VALENTINE
