Meat tassels
You cannot force somebody to love you
but by God haven't we tried to...
at least a half dozen times in our lives.
Likewise, nobody can force you to love them
but by God haven't they all tried
at least once in their lonely eyed lives.
We've all been on both sides of
the uneven love equation.
Forcing somebody to love you
is like nicely asking a plutonium tyrant
to sign a peace treaty...
or convincing a shark to become vegetarian
while tassels of meat are swinging from its teeth.
Rest assured, you don't have to chase love...
just follow that light that's always been in sight
Love will shine through the blackness
like the warm rays of a sun shower
piercing the heart of a long-cold drought.
