Love

Everybody talks about love 

People glorify love with attributes 
They say love is this  , love is that
We all hide the truth!!

Love is always like the body lying in state 
Nobody wants to further soil the clay 

Love is selfish
And that selfish love is what we all crave
We want  others hurt to feel loved by that fave

We say love is  beautiful 

And nobody  wants to admit love is wicked 
But that  wicked love is what we so desire 
We sometimes kill if that's what our hearts require 

We say love is Trustworthy 

But love is deceitful
And that deceitful love is what we hold on to with alacrity 
We all spew and consume lies for emotions' security 

Love  is flawed
Love is rogue 

But Hey,
Love shouldn't be perfect , it just needs guidance 
Love's priority must focus on humanity 
Commitment of Love to humanity takes care of its (love) excesses 

love is us!!!
