Love is the universal
mother tongue
a language we were
born to speak
but some police with hatred,
disguising fear,
believe that love is a scarce
commodity
Fear peddles empty promises
loaning out power
while tying a millstone around
hapless borrowers
it tempts the ones with privilege,
who sacrificed belonging
on the altar of conformity;
the ubiquitous unseen
tho they hunger deeply
for love,
and to be known,
they remain starved by fear.
Fame is a smooth talker
selling acrimonious infatuation
as a holy surrogate,
they buy into its cowardly sham
they seek to find the ‘other’,
strip them of humanity
to wage their ‘holy war’
against the very name they claim.
Love never fails
Fear decimates it’s forces
undone by the cavernous divide
of power, spewing sermons
of hate, polarising the masses.
But Love,
the great equaliser,
unites
where fear seeks to divide
This tidal wave of love
swells, the fierce resistance rising up
engulfing apathy
to leave healing justice in its wake
Love never fails
