To Love, or Not to Love

“To love, or not to love?” that is the point,
the focus which peers lose beyond disjoint.
To be like gods among men, and unloved,
is woe: even wild beasts are not unmoved
by these fragmented, lone, unearthly souls,
for whom the scroll of history unrolls.
Men, being so much better than feral beasts,
should shun (and despise!) the vile, evil feasts
of their hate: then love these wide-browed seers, men
and women like the wielder of this pen.
