A recent reaction to certain posts of a friend and I have exposed a worrying outlook towards life. Can't people have artistic, fun and analytical relationship without speculative romance behind the scenes?
#########
I lit the fire by doing a simple descriptive poem on the friend who is not only a student leader, church leader, a great dancer, a well brought up lady with morals but also a jovial clean hearted fellow. This were traits I summarized in a few stanzas. This aroused a few critics but the crisis was manageable. She had shared the piece online for sheer appreciation of art. The audience had a rare understanding. Why only you?
She decided to scratch the back, as was our petty deal(she's an expert in literature and poetry is a minor in her pursuit), she wrote a poem on my character and coincidentally, it was a Wednesday. I shared the post to a hungry audience( and a #wcw photo of hers). The response was immense, the reaction unexpected. Likes and comments competed. No one saw the poem for what it was, they saw 'hidden meaning'.
Attacks, allegations of cowardice and hypocrisy were unending. The single worst nightmare was a dare to explain the concept to the fragile and volatile group. It was a losing battle. Crazy words such as TIBIM (I'm yet to grasp its meaning) were plenty.
It was clear a gang of close friends were having fun bullying us. They played around inciting the already excited masses. Silent followers were utilizing inbox messages to get clarity over the issue. The least bold were simply clicking the like button on the crazy comments. Gladly, the two of us were hardened by the circumstances long enough to succumb to the demands (Did I say we were given 48 hours to give our stance lest they did it themselves!).
We're waiting for the outcome!

I believe it's archaic to jump into conclusion that as long as two of opposite gender are showing a good chemistry in various issues they're having an affair. I have a fleet of friends, confidants and advisors from the opposite sex. There's so much to share apart from the perversion expected.
An assumption that there must be more than meets the eye is a sorry state. We're in 21st century. If you can't manage to be in a relationship beyond romance, you need more than enlightenment and basic education. In the age of equality, quality relationships are inevitable. Change is coming, don't be overtaken.
