Loving Me So Easily As I Am

By Professor Michael Itungwa Shukrani
_______

As the Earth is spinning on its way
While days come and anguish is crushed with damn
I petition this on this day:
Love me so easily as I am

Inquire from the Sun
Speak to the Moon
And you shall admire my value which fills you with fun
That you relish some euphoria tastier than any prune

Attitude and raiment may be deceitful to you
For liars use them to hide a bloody hand in a glove
Thus despite my appearance, which does not deny my value
Love me with walloping love

Albeit I was born with one or more defects in my being
I have not done it on purpose
And loving me is still a pearl that I deserve without arguing
For defects can melt anytime although humongous

Corpses have been mourned because loved so much
Yet their subsequent rotting fates were forgotten
In spite of my flaws, which I have not sown as such
Do I not deserve some love, even a bit rotten?

Whether my age seems of heavy weight
Or may it appear horribly slight
I still deserve some love at a bounty rate
For I have promised to exempt you from any sorrowful fight

To be loved is more than gold
For from it gems can abound
Even alluring kisses and caresses so delicious to hold
Thus, love me with deafening sound
