Irony Poem by Vincent Igwilo

Why do we start loving something when we are about to lose them
Why do love sometimes infect us with sickness when those we love don't feel the same for us
Why do sunshine become essential when winter is around the corner
Why do i miss home when I prepare for school

All they 'whys' I think just got one simple answer
Lack of appreciation
I wonder why it is not regarded
Although it's among the three magic word
We don't cherish until they perish
Neither do we love until we lose

Who says that families should become familiar
Or that companions should be complacent
Or brothers snubbers
It doesn't hurt to say
'I love that, I appreciate your effort'
Those who keep a special confinement for you in their hearts need those words more than you think

We have to have a right value placement
Or boldness will be coldness
And firmness, slackness
Remember lads will always be pals
And lack of appreciation causes depreciation.
