LOVE LYRICS

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

We once had the love,
The love that did the bonding,
The love that made us united,
The love we used to break the Britain jinx.
The love we used to break the slavery,
The love we shared that gained access to inter-tribal marriage,
The love that made an Easterner a business man in the West.
The love that made the Westerner a sojourner in the North.
The love that made different people with multilingual differences to gain freedom into Independence in 1960.
That love has changed to hatred in the blink of an eye,

No ethnic group cares anymore,

Kidnapping, rituals, rivalry, killings, terrorism, victimization have replaced the love.
We want our young love back, the love so peaceful, calm and able to tolerate each ethnic differences.
