Love and Lust

Emotions never warns

They creep in and Burns

Feelings too,

Split the world in two.

One for today's pleasure

Another for pain in the future.

The odds are stacked

For everyone born white or black.

The starting maybe mutual

But the end complete the ritual

Because

Love and lust

Are two opposition

Fighting in we creatures from dust.
