THAT'S WHY WE FALL

THAT’S WHY WE FALL

Why does it make the learned behave like ignoramuses?

Why does it make full-bearded men crawl like toothless babies?

Men of honour are made to become shameless

The aged are made to forget their ages

Why does it make days feel like midnights

And nights like noon?

Why does it make Ethiopians dress like Eskimos

And Eskimos like Fulani herdsmen?

Hardened criminals behave like saints

And saints like fallen angels?

Why does it make well-built men play like lunatics

While skinny,feeble men carry weights meant for Johnny Bravo and Umaga?

I guess that’s what love does

We don’t fly into it

We fall in it…!
