Affectation

Love,
where can
              love
              be found
as each day
the world spins
and chaos
              reigns
              supreme-
Desire
outflanks love
            and enchains
            consequence
            in culture's
clash-
               Beauty
                trashed
and trivilised
innocence
             so early lost
             beneath false 
masks
of love
             crushed
             into the
             g r o u n d
