A Weapon Called Love

when stretched and twisted
love becomes a weapon
an impulse never resisted
primal urge unforgotten
    that is the excuse
    for devious behavior
    for letting dark passions loose
    while claiming to be a savior
the pick and choose
of absurd distortions
no one wants to lose
their abominable corruptions
    but condemnation is never quiet
    and deceptions never subside
    the soul is always in debt
    in whom can evil love confide?
