Those We Love Unconditionally
There are those I love unconditionally
Regardless of their attitudes, ideas or beliefs.
I love them because everyone is in a state of perpetual motion;
Tension or release…
From the surly bonds of society
Wherein we find ourselves full tilt;
And who’s to blame for all the shame,
Turmoil, toil and guilt?
From past and present participle
To future tense somehow;
Those we love we place above
Ourselves, right here and now.
And there are those we wish to elevate
As high as sky is round;
If you and I could transmigrate
I’d find you up or down.
Don’t ask me why
We laugh and cry
Like children growing still;
There are those we love unconditionally
And additionally,
always will.
