Love

Love……….

What a strange, curious little thing

I am beginning to doubt it exists

I mean look all around you

Be honest and tell me what you see

“You’re silent.”

The sigh comes even before I can help it

All I see is chaos

Hate… people stepping on others

Killing, dying for one shot at greatness

A stagnant pool

Selfishness, GREED

And you sit there and tell me

This is love

Are you for real?

Can’t you see the grief?

The mourning, hopelessness

Bombs falling, exploding,

Limbs flying

Mothers with dead children crying

And you sit there and tell me

Love is not lying?

What is it?

Answer me!!!

I can’t hear you over the crying

The sighing

The bound, the chained

Begging for salvation

Crying for an absolution

Ironically

The hands of those we seek solace from

Are the same ones

That punish us for being us

The earth breathes nothing but dust

Care, love devotion is lost

Lost in a chaotic miasma

Even the gods could not unravel

There is one source

One love

HIM!

He alone knows where it hurts

Where I hurt

And a whole host of others

Groan

Searching for what we feel is lost

I hear him call

Not hear exactly

I feel him call

I feel his love

But I am afraid

Because of the war

A part of me shudders to think

What he thinks

About me

Love…

Only him

Everything else is just a cross

Every journey is a wandering in the land of the lost

I look to the heavens and I feel his love

I want to go there

But I have to be here

Show me the true meaning father

The true meaning of your love
