Love

Apparently, we all seek for love
Every mouth pronouncing the word love

Lust, a common denominator
That word links the most with a man’s love

Lab rats expect me to live their lives
Conforming to the herd’s theme of love

Yet sheep can’t feel the same as my soul
Sheep don’t seem to understand such love

Are all sheep even placed in one group?
The Earth speaks mostly bout that love.

Yet, I don’t speak such bizarre language
Do they know there are subjects of love?

Such a subject has some dimensions.
Lust and marriage do not define love

Getting engaged? Boasting on media?
Does that define the meaning of love?

Having a family? Those kisses?
Do they determine factors of love?

Most mammals crave for that selection
Yet, craving for it is not true love

True love is yourself with your values
That determines the roads of your love.
