Should love kill you ?

Photo by: Unknown Is he celebrating you like you are him?  Not that it matters, But the daughter from my mother told me so  She say "baby love needs gratification"  Whatever that means...

Elegy to the Miscultured Children.

You've gone so far from home.. Your mother doesn't feel familiar You've let your heart beat to the seductive tune of the invader All the while, Sitting on your father's grave . Orphaned in oppression, Singing values of valour, valour of your coloniser A lot like eulogies to your freedom.
