Love
My love is a practicing ascetic
So humble beyond imagination
Many view his beliefs as pathetic
He, as a duty, determination
A man filled with incredible knowledge
His selfless offerings far from shallow
Studied at a prestigious college
For his beliefs, he faces the gallow
People often ridicule, nonchalant
Some furtive in manner, some quite vicious
Ne'er comprehending nature so gallant
Alas, self-serving their own ambitious
So why do I feel my own hearts desire
Is being led directly to the fire
