Love Is Inane?
Questions asked of a wise fictional entity
What is love in your opinion?
Love is truly like an onion
Layers upon layers as you look deep
Not talking about making love
Or in other words: to *bleep*
But the emotion
That in our minds can seep
And like idiots make us seem
When the stupidity can fade away
As you look at your lover
Everything they do seems in disarray
But in your eyes its simply more to uncover
You may call it naiveté
Maybe even a cliché
Or simply hormone excretion
All I can say is, love is without reason
But what if one didn’t experience that kind of love?
Love is all encompassing
As a mother looks at her child
Or even a lioness to her cub in the wild
Love comes in all forms, always cosy and warm
Love is what drives home this poem
Is that all there is to love?
While love can bring about peace and serenity
It can bring about struggle through impurity
“Love makes the world go round” as they say
And it’s true
Love can affect lives, I say
Wars start because of materialistic love
On the other hand, through the struggle,
People come together and tyrants they shove
Two sides to the same coin, etched for eternity
Love is both good and evil, true insanity
If love is so inane, then why go through the pain?
Because through love, humanity we attain.
