A Song For You....
POEM NUMBER 920

I know you love me
I love you too
I knew it from the start
that you love me

The question is now
do I still love you?
This is a message I can never give you
say i don't love you anymore
I am always happy as a child, also to love you

but oh, that child has now disappeared
so suddenly the child no longer loves you...
I find that a great tragedy
that love can disappear and I see you languish
between all that unhealthy surrounds
I don't know how, but the air in your country is so polluted
the government does nothing about it
just like all residents are executed
all the money in their pockets, and you among the other wrecks
the government just proclaims 'healthy' government
it does nothing to make their air pollution healthy

Yes, your government is not doing anything to make the environment healthier
you are caught like rats, that's my vision
no permits to foreign lands, my love, where will you strand?
for the people there, I don't mention your government
your sorrow, also my sorrow
although our love has faded, perishes,
but a healthy life still needs to exist
our children's song
roses wither, ships perish
our love, oh our love has not perished
but does not seem to be able to exist
now you believe in God
and I'm sure you'll be happy on your spot....

The incisive words used in this marvelous poem give a powerful message. A message of concern and also a stern warning that a leader should seriously consider the thoughts woven by the great Poetess for the welfare of all. I like how this poem was crafted and executed. There is subtlety and yet it cuts like the sharp edge of a knife. On to my Poem List.

The worst line of thought is not that love end, but that of the further life of one.....................here is one smallest error, that must be: " ends " (verb + s for the third person singular) . Thank you for your attention, SFC

Continued: To leave the one behind in an unhealthy country with a lot of rape and worst air pollution, code air pollution while the other goes back to a prosperous country. The two hoped to be united, but it had turned out completely differently.

The worst line of thought is not that love end, but that of the further life of one former lover, to leave in an unhealthy country, while facing a healthy future. The love had to be broken because there was no permission from the current government. I can't imagine how the two lovers should feel? !

There is question in mind whether there is love inside or not. But love blooms at right moment. Love gives trust to feel the personality. Having a true realization mind sings. Being a happy child is great in perception. Although a child carrying love disappears still we feel the child appears with magical mood. The air pollution provokes though. All children and people need pure air. We should be aware for clean environment. This is an excellent poem..We love GOD AND he helps us.10

Indeed, Master Poet Kumarmani Mahakul Sir, we love God and He always helps us in His Time, not in ours, so we must be patient and trust Him fully.. Thank you so much for your precious 10, Sir! Know that God loves YOU too. Your comments mean a very lot to me, thank you! God Blesses
