A SONG OF WAR AGAINST DIVORCE...

Excuse the foundation of our existence

Life was never to beg indulgence

Love, true and pure is of life’s essence

 

As a stubborn yoke, you thrive

Never wishing I could drive

For union, I would dive

Like a bee in its hive

 "Today we long to own

Tomorrow ,a taste of disown"

Today we long to own

Tomorrow ,a taste of disown

In desolation, our mothers moan

For the pain of desertion that’s sown

Let my parents live the promise

And not as one mourning a demise

For all in the walk through life’s premise

They never thought to live amiss

I walk in the sands of time

Knowing I owe you, not a dime

Let me do life without a crime

And be at peace even in my prime

Go back to sleep, o’ you wreck called divorce

For you sulk as a curse

Love was never meant to be toppled by force

Yet good life remains but a choice

I miss your care, ‘o  father

How could you leave my sweet mother

Bet you know you made a blunder

For divorce, loving has become a tall order

The griming menace called divorce

Plaguing our homes without remorse

I captain a force mounting a horse

And declare that your end is come.

I say, ‘No to Divorce”.

Dedicated to all homes and families battling separation and the hardships fraught with divorce.
