All good poem start with a question

So i'll ask mine

What is love?

Some say its is stupid, obsessive, a drug only fools want to get addicted to

The fools they speak of say love is what makes the world go around

If not for the love of a mother what would a son be’

If not for the love a god what would be

The pressiemnts respond with what love 

the love destroying of earth and souls

Watching the earth burn to coals

The same love that keeps mom and son together tear them apart 

Leaving a mother grieving the loss of him

A world full of hatred 

Faded and wasted 

There is no love

Can’t you see what is happening

The earth and people inside it blacking 

Are we really enough

Even though Google says love is an intense feeling of deep affection

I say love is just perfect imperfection
