The Deadly Cost of Love
"Love is the enemy of Reason."
-- Rational Ethics 101
* * *
In ancient portraits, wingèd Cupid e'er is painted blind,
True Love an eyeless bigot vile in love with its own kind,
full with its family, nation, god, and Nazi pal alligned --
the parent and original of Madness unconfined.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
countless worldwide Horrors continuous
rooted in love
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the popular, sentimental, romanticized notion of
brotherly love among klans
february, 2023 -- yet billions of non-humans
annually being tortured in concentration camps by
true genocidal love for one's own species
