TODAY’S  LOVE

Today’s love is a glow worm

in the concrete jungle of the night,

in  its  body there is no heat

only a flickering little light

causing  less of pull

and more of deterring fright ;

we are shadows at fun play

behind  the screen

of  life’s  live stage

bereft  of real beauty and  brain                

a spent force without might !

Our efforts to  effect change

are caught in a dilemma

draining us of the will to

choose the path that is right !!

we fumble  ,  we stumble

in this dark jungle,

in wait for a little love and care

in the midst of all battle scare

for a little warmth of heart

when love is just a painful cry

in this dark jungle of the night  !!!
