Without Love
Folder:
Personal Favorites Without love, humanity struggles to flourish
Soul nourishment is stifled, stagnated, then decayed
Without love, humanity loses self-identity
Impending courage dashed away
Contending strength led astray
from cardiac vessels of hardened clay
Without love, humanity wilts
as a daffodil
searching for water still
and the rain is honest...
The buckets filled
from the canopy above
are hoarded, and only spilt
on the already-quenched,
heartily-drenched palates of alpha conquest
Without love, humanity will irrationally suffer
as a regiment of Cheetos for supper
the junk leads the junkie away from home.
The dire relinquish their seat at the table
for immediate euphoria
but nothing maintained or redeeming
Without love, humanity is reduced to fancy words on social media
rather than the action that truly matters
Which is how hope will not fade to silence
and give heart an avenger's cue
if and again when
life's pendulum sways true
Seen this on the side
And had to come back
To say it proves my last point.
