What is Love

My cynical voice!

What is Love.

Love was sent by the gods to make man weak,

weaker than he has to be.

It is a dark poison,

injected directly into his heart

to make him forget his soul,

to keep his might from rising,

to keep him from godliness

and in a state of constant confusion.

Love is the shackles round man’s ankles

which tie him to the earth and bind him

to follow the bidding of the flesh,

and it will be man’s death.

For abandoned to this rock of a planet

there is nothing for him

beyond love.

Cynical to the nth degree, but there are times in life with cynicism and sarcasm is what gets us through. "The bidding of the flesh" certainly attracts a lot of people to one another....no doubt there. Lydi**
