People are shallow, so ready to cheat and steal to say that love lives only as a quid pro quo package deal “give me everything you have and I'll lend my heart for you To exploit” Its transactional Its practical Its a dog eat dog world So they take and they plunder Divest and hollow of all joy ******* life for minute, dilute droplets of “happiness” in different ploys give me this give me that Let me take all you have To hide yourself from darkness by shrouding yourself in more. Is a fate worse than any, And a mindset unthinkably poor It is to hold your own head down In a puddle of mud and expect not to drown And to call that mud by any other name Does not change its nature. Make me happy Make me happy But happiness is found within. It is in a connection Untainted with sin To truly love one another, Not rivals, not masters. Is to be servants of the light Love is forgiveness. It is unconditional, It is true, I do not need you to love me For me to LOVE you True love is untainted, By greediness. By lust. It is to CARE for all people And in the Divine to trust.
